Addressables, but for scene objects

One interesting idea would be to also allow scene objects to be addressable. Sadly I'm sure this would essentially be a COMPLETELY separate system, since obviously it's not related to assets at all.

But the idea of being able to address a scene object would be incredible.

In fact, since this would essentially be a lookup table, it wouldn't be too hard, would it? Only issue is the integration since a Scene object's serialization is locked down as far as I know.

Thoughts?

you can "address" a scene object by directly referencing it in your scripts.
the entire scene is a single block of content, so it doesn't make any sense to address stuff inside to be loaded asynchronously.

if you instead want "cross-scene references", that would be an entirely different feature. (there is a limited/ad-hoc implementation of that in Timeline, look at ExposedReference<T>)
