Especially when using entityreference, allowing other modules to alter the list of renderable properties would be really useful. Currently the entityreference plugin only "knows about" three core entites: Node, User, Taxonomy term. So when referencing other entity types,
the developer has no mechanism to define which properties can be rendered.
I propose the introduction of a new alter hook: hook_reference_table_formatter_renderable_properties_alter().
Patch attached.

sam152 commentedNot a bad idea, but people would still need to know about the hook and fix it. Would you rather submit a patch for the entities you are using? That way if anyone else is using those entity types, they can also benefit?

paranojik commentedI've implemented a bunch of custom entities. Adding support for them wouldn't make much sense. Users can define their own entities with the ECK module. That's what I was refering to in the above proposal.
Anyway,...the first patch caused a PHP notice. This one fixes that.
