from my_ids

left join foo c1 on my_ids.id = c1.id

left join foo c2 on my_ids.id = c2.id

left join foo c3 on my_ids.id = c3.id

left join foo c4 on my_ids.id = c4.id

left join foo c5 on my_ids.id = c5.id

How about:

SELECT my_ids.id, ARRAY_AGG( ( property, value ) order by (property, value) )
  FROM my_ids

ORDER BY id;
