I haven't had a look at the code, but I'd say extbase should use a 
repository (or maybe even a factory via a @factory annotation etc) to 
resolve a object if one is available. If none is available it shall 
proceed as it does currently.
Or it should strictly ignore the storagePage, just as it does when 
mapping properties.

A annotation only needed for a particular storageBackend is no solution 
we should aim for I think.
