[Developers] Article Summary

[Arthur van Hoff]

I have been struggling with the same problem. I wish there was a way the
article could be included in a MQL result. I know that it is stored
outside the database, but in theory it should be possible for the query
engine to make the appropriate requests to the trans service and insert
the data, and make it look seamless. This would greatly simplify a lot
of client programming, and it would avoid a lot of round trips.

To work around this for broadcast content we have resorted to storing a
summary of the article in the database, so that it can easily be
retrieved with MQL. That works great, but it seems somewhat duplicative
and inefficient.
