Hmm, this has the advantage over direct retrieval of being synchronous but it 
only works for entities that are already in the model, while explicit 
retrieval works as long as the entity exists at all.

But if this is a common use case, i.e. to have the id, knowing that it is in 
the model but not having the entity itself, then why not.

Cheers,
Kevin
