Description

We need to be able to load chooser data async, because in some cases it's not possible to pre-load all the data on a complex form without really slowing down the user experience. This is especially true for pages that are shown in view mode but have inline editing enabled.

cc: FORMS-2 Ability to load chooser data when the chooser is actually edited

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating how chooser data is currently loaded and how inline editing triggers a chooser, then clarify the intended loading lifecycle and API. Done should mean chooser data loads on demand without preloading complex-form data or slowing view-mode pages.
