It is possible. But that means you will need to look at the attribute and
determine if it is linked to an AV or not anyway. You could have a scalar or
the attribute be an object. And if it is an object it could be some generated
structure or an embed. We would still need to define a generic way to identify
it is the case of an av-linked attribute. I'm not sure what's best, but having
a separate lookup table felt cleaner to use. In the templates you would have
proper objects that can be asked if they are av-linked.

This certainly needs ideas. We are open to proposals, obviously!

I would go for an $av->to_api object, that names things better: lib/lib_opac =>
description, picking the right one according to the caller context.
