[Developers] freebase-suggest modification

[Zodiac Seven]

Okay, i guess i will make the results var global and access it from the
callback.

Is there a freebase api to get the name of the article in wikipedia?
so if I have the id as "/en/taj_mahal" and the guid as
"#9202a8c04000641f800000000009216a", name as "Taj Mahal"
I guess there must be a way to find out the wikipedia article name which is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taj_mahal
