SitecoreQuery attribute that would return the current item

[Dave Brooks]

I'm curious if it is possible to construct a Sitecore query attribute (or some other attribute) that would cause Glass to return the same Sitecore item we are currently looking at.

E.g. Something a bit like this:

    public partial class StreamlinedEntity : MinimalSitecoreItem

    {

        public virtual string Title { get; set; }

        public virtual string BodyText { get; set; }

        [SitecoreQuery(".", IsRelative = true)]

        public virtual AdvancedSitecoreItem ExtraInfo { get; set; }

    }

So "ExtraInfo" could be lazy loaded only when more fields are occasionally needed. Would this give a performance gain? If so, is there a way to achieve this? Is this a bad idea? Even if the above Sitecore Query worked (which it doesn't) I realise it would return the context item, not necessarily the item we are expecting so wouldn't be what I am looking for.

Thanks

David

I found a solution!

        [SitecoreQuery("fast:{escapedPath}", IsLazy = true)]

        public virtual AdvancedSitecoreItem ExtraInfo { get; set; }
