Summary: Support properties expansion in the API
Description: The Directory API will, by design, only 'resolve' the first join for its relationship. This is fine as the default behavior but it would be handy to support the expansion of some properties on request. An example would be to list all contact(person) of a node, the Registry needs to do that. Being able to query the API with /node/12?expand=people would significantly reduce the number of requests required.
