The relevant function is dojo.queryToObject(string) it returns an object containing the key-value pairs from the query string. This way, you can use either

dojo.queryToObject("id=12345").id

or

dojo.queryToObject("id=12345")['id']

Do note that this function receives only the query part of the url. You can get this information via document.location.search, as mentioned by Ghislain in the comments.
