[CDS API] More properties when fetching items

[Former user]

In order to allow a better use experience on the client side, it would be awesome to include a few additional properties on to an item request. Right now, such a request returns an item type, item id, title, album, artist, etc. etc.

Is it possible to also include the id's of certain properties? I was thinking about album_id, artist_id and genre_id. That way, the UI can (for instance) link from a song directly to all songs of that artist (or all albums), or show a list of all songs in the album. Right now, we have to fetch all folders from e.g. artists, and find the correct item, then request the child items of that folder. The amount of requests required for this kind of interface is way too much.

And while we're on the subject. What about the extra information which is available in serviio for video items? Things like IMDB-id, Producer, Director, Actors, etc. etc.? All with ID's, of course ;)

For Series it would be nice to have properties for direct access to the full serie and the season.

this would break the JSON schema
