BlitzObjectWrapper.getDetails().getExternalInfo() should provide the same lazy-loading functionality and return a wrapped ExternalInfo
Consumers who might have adopted the OMERO.py gateway API introduced in #453 should update their code to use the existing
object.getDetails().getExternalInfo()API which is separately being fixed with #482.This approach is consistent with similar metadata like
getDetails().getGroup(),getDetails().getOwner()orgetDetails().getPermissions(). UnlikeBlitzObjectWrapper.getExternalInfo(), this API will return a wrappedExternalInfoobject allowing to use the convenience methods of the gateway e.g.object.getDetails().getExternalInfo().getLsid()
