Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The OCS Resolve endoint (GET https://example.com/ocs/v2.php/references/resolve?reference=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Findex.php%2Fapps%2Ftables%2F%23%2Ftable%2F10) currently returns a richObject property, that doesn't actually satisfy me.
First of all, it includes all data from that table. Given this endpoint gets hit when a user searches for anything, that seems to be a bit too verbose to me.
Also: I expected (and require) the most obvious information: the ID of the object. Sure, I could parse it from the URL, but what if the UI changes at some point in the time? No, I'd like the ID to be present in the response if possible 🙂
Describe the solution you'd like
Drop the rows property, the summarizing row count is enough, add the id property.

Research direction
Start by tracing the OCS Resolve endpoint at GET /ocs/v2.php/references/resolve and inspect how its response is assembled. Confirm where the richObject data is produced, then verify the response retains the row count while exposing the object ID and omitting rows. Exercise the endpoint with the reference URL from the issue to check the final payload.
