The issue with this is that we're bypassing the data model to pull the information directly from the database (for performance issues I assume).

I'd be fine with going through the data model even if it hurts performance slightly here. Having the URL handy is more than just a convenience.

Just looked at the code a little more and in fact we do not completely avoid the data model. There is a get_entity call in order to fetch the URL for the entity's icon.

Is this still relevant with Blacktooth's ajax work?
