Hi Martin, I apologize for the delay in getting back with you. I've added this as an agenda item to the Integrations sub-team meeting next Tuesday so we'll definitely discuss it then. Unless I'm missing something it sounds like what you're talking about may be possible (as long as you have a link to the object online somewhere--not a metadata/download screen, unless you just wanted a link). I also assume you're talking about the public interface here?
I also wonder if anyone from the migrations sub-team would have any ideas about the retaining data structures from Archon to ArchivesSpace part.
