    As I wrote on mailing list:
    
    ```
    I'd like to keep backwards compatibility.  We don't know where this might 
be used.
    
    Also the catalog item ID isn't sufficient I don't think.  Returning just 
the catalog item ID means you lose any custom configuration on the location in 
the blueprint (ie on top of the catalog item ID); I'm not sure it even works at 
all if you use legacy "jclouds:aws-ec2" syntax; and you won't get any 
added-after-deployed information.  It isn't a problem in many cases but it is a 
weaker API.
    
    Could we add a new "locationsDetail" field which contains eg "{ [ id: <old 
value>, catalogItemId: <what you want>, displayName: <optional>, ... ] }" and 
we could add any further metadata we want?
    
    I'd also be in favour of doing this for all entities, not just applications.
    ```
