API: Resolving "external" entities

ari_s

Is it possible to resolve which external entity (origin, x-axis, etc.) is being referenced by a constraint when we do a "get feature list" call?
For example, here is the section of the returned JSON that indicates the external entity (the origin in this case) referenced by a particular coincident constraint:

                                {
                                    "type": 148,
                                    "typeName": "BTMParameterQueryList",
                                    "message": {
                                        "queries": [
                                            {
                                                "type": 138,
                                                "typeName": "BTMIndividualQuery",
                                                "message": {
                                                    "geometryIds": [],
                                                    "hasUserCode": false,
                                                    "nodeId": "MqV5dh3AIMV6hPynr"
                                                }
                                            }
                                        ],
                                        "parameterId": "externalFirst",
                                        "hasUserCode": false,
                                        "nodeId": "Ml8YqJ9PYw+lqfm8p"
                                    }
                                }

It appears that the necessary information to resolve the query and determine which external entity is involved is not present. Is there any way to resolve this?

I don't know of a way to get the exact entity that a sketch entity is constrained to, but you could get its position in space and other data about that sketch entity using either the "Sketch Information" call, or an "evaluate FeatureScript" call which queries the relevant entities and evaluates in anything that FeatureScript can compute.
