Instead of merely storing NID and MLID, it should be trivial to store MLID, ENTITY_TYPE and ETID. This would allow JOINs to tables other than node.

I wonder if we should just release both and let Darwin sort it out. I'm open to either solution.

Ok lets do that.

Just came up with another idea: Instead of the entity_index module we could also create a module that adds a (hidden) field to entities that contains the entity uri. That immediately would open up more possibilities (available to views, formatters, exclude certain entity types, etc).

Wondering how that fits in to the work here:

I found another way to fulfill my needs: http://drupal.org/project/menu_link

I see that and wonder if it removes the need for this module. I suppose not, since this one supports its API hooks.

Which of the 3 modules are you moving forward with? All?

Probably only the latter. I suspect it will be pretty easy to mimic those API hooks. I'll maybe even incorporate those hooks; I'll let you know here.

I'm going to hold off on this for now, release, and link to the other projects on the module page.
