This is being done for the new sobjectMetadata component to allow it to be used as a service component - fieldMetadata should work the same way.

Salesforce still does not provide a native lookup component for LEX, so time to make one. ideally, it should look and function the same way as a standard lookup field (SLDS docs for lookups available here).

1. When the field is clicked, show a list of recently viewed records + an option to create a new record from the component
2. If a new record is created, it should use the standard force:createRecord event - once the record is created, the component should automatically set the new record as the parent object in the lookup
3. Automatically default to searching the object's name field (subject for case & task, etc), with the ability to override this and to specify multiple fields to search, as well as fields to display in the search results
4. The component should dynamically show the object's icon
5. Searching should occur as you type - the autocomplete should have a 'search for X in SomeObject__c' line displayed as soon as the user begins typing (same functionality as a standard lookup in LEX)
6. Since the fields will be specified/known, it should use SOQL for the search instead of SOSL.
7. The component should support polymorphic fields where multiple SObject types can be used (task.WhoId & task.WhatId)
