@MichelDiz and team, did you give this issue any more thought?

In the RDF world, RDF-star is getting more traction, supporting a fuller range of values for edge properties / facets:

As a possible workaround, could one have a convention such as #id that would somehow automatically retrieve linked nodes?

{ 
    id: Norway,
    yearOfIndependence: 1905,
    yearOfIndependence|source : "id#wikipedia" 
}

If facetValue.beginsWith(id#):

facetGetLinkedNode( func(id(wikipedia)) ) {
   id...
}

But I guess the more tricky part would be to keep this in sync if the ID/UID is removed/changed etc … Any ideas appreciated!
