Respecting the revisioning-system in drupal it would be nice to have a reference to the vid.
Scenario:
The profile of an employee can change, when he got upgraded (some status-change in the profile). For every change there is a new vid.
Some node referencing to the profile (not the user) via nid cannot show us, which status the userprofile was at the time, the node was saved. If there is a vid-reference, it can.

Is it possible to save also the vid ? Would this make sense (with views-connection) ?

This is not in the scope of this module. The revision system in Drupal is so very much broken that it would not make much sense anyway, but this module can only target an Entity, not a revision of a given Entity.

Targeting a revision would be a completely different module, so that's not a use case we can support.

Just got here by the same need, I just wondered, why is it that the revision system is "so very much broken" :). I am basing a new site and I was planning on using revisions quite a bit, so I wonder what you meant.. Is it more broken than on D6, it used to work OK.. or is it something 'internal'? Thanks,
Ariel.=

Just seen this: #1837650: Allow referencing a specific revision ID, so I think that this issue is a duplicate of that?
