In building Datasette Cloud we realized that a bunch of the features we are building need a way of resolving an actor ID to the actual actor, in order to display something more interesting than just an integer ID.

Social plugins in particular need this - comments by X, CSV uploaded by X, that kind of thing.

I think the solution is a new plugin hook: actors_from_ids(datasette, ids) which can return a list of actor dictionaries.

The default implementation can return [{"id": "..."}] for the IDs passed to it.

Pluggy has a firstresult=True option which is relevant here, since this is the first plugin hook we will have implemented where only one plugin should provide an answer.
