Entity reference plus data

Currently Entity Reference only allows for one View Mode to be selected for displaying a reference field.

This project extends Entity Reference by allowing selection of the View Mode for each referenced Entity within the field. It provides a field widget for selecting the Entity (using autocomplete) and View Mode, a field formatter to display the selected View Mode for the entity, as well a Migrate field handler.

Why is this cool? Because it lets you reuse chunks of content, the referenced entities, in a different way each time you use them. E.g., if you're referencing an article, you can choose to render the full article or the teaser, or if you're referencing an image, it can be shown inline or as a thumbnail with a lightbox.
