This seems like related to the relation-walking optimization we discussed for Neo4J: also would need to couple the entity instance to the Neo4J document. Currently the Neo4J griddialect would need to run a new query for a graph-traversal: not taking advantage of the graph capabilities which is of course a problem.
In Hibernate ORM the EntityEntry stores an array with the loaded values from SQL, needed for some of its state handling. I'd say we should have a way to store data related to extension points into this EntityEntry. If we made this as a general purpose enhancement of ORM, we could maybe have it abstract the storage of the additional attributes into, for example, the enhanced entity class definitions: it would add a field directly to the Entity instance for you to store such an object. There where some chats about maybe doing such an optimization anyway, driven by the performance work.
