    Hello, I started playing with ECS now that 1.0 is out, so my knowledge of the API is very limited.
    Is there a way to randomly access a SharedComponent, given an entity, from a Job (more specifically an IJobEntity)?
    For ComponentData I use ComponentLookups, and for SharedComponents random access I can use the EntityManager.GetSharedComponent but I think it's not possible to pass the state.EntityManager to a job?

    It is a bit messy, but a combination of EntityStorageInfoLookup and SharedComponentTypeHandle will get you there.
