But why use an annotation for that? The use cases you describe look to me like run-time decisions.

Anyway, assuming the framework would fetch you a private copy of the model so a) you can modify it
independently from other access and b) it won't get persisted, I think the identity map will hold a
copy of it and will give you a clone.
