Discuss: event entity "partials"

[portertech]

Should an event be able to reference an entity with a "partial"? For example, only including the entities ID "entity": {"id": "foobar}. Adding the remaining entity attributes to the event would become the responsibility of eventd.

Supporting partials would make external event input easier, from a user's perspective (don't need to know much about the entity in order to reference it).

I'm closing this because proxy entities and even event sent through a socket can only use an entity ID as the source.
