I have a polymorphic relationship in Rails, but in one particular instance of use, I’d only like to retrieve records for a specific class.
What’s the best approach to do this?

The rails plugin has_many_polymorphs can suit this purpose fairly well. You can define “getters” to pull specific data types out that are part of a polymorphic relationship.
It is somewhat complicated and the documentation could afford to improve however.
