I don't query the accordion table, but the tt_content table! The
relation to the accordion table is automatically resolved through
extbase and the annotation in the model and the TCA configuration.

The model is mapped to the table in TypoScript:
https://github.com/akiessling/ak_accordion/blob/master/Configuration/TypoScript/setup.txt
AFAIR, the repository named after the model takes this setting to query
the db.

No guarantee, that this is the best approach! You can also pass the
available data to the datamapper and create the model object yourself. I
don't know about the attached records though then, maybe they need to be
lazyloaded in this case. This was also not tested with multiple
languages and workspaces!

You can alternatively use the uid of the content object and query an
accordion repository (which does not exist in the extension!) for the
attached records. But beware of different uids, depending on the current
language/workspace. Then you would do this:
$this->accordionRepository->findByTtContentUid($uid)

HTH,
Andreas
