I think I've misunderstood the description. I interpreted 'gives a list
of references' as 'returns a list of references' but now I think you
meant 'given a list of references', so a couple of the concerns I
raised are moot.

However, my other points with regards to dynamic pulling stand and I
still don't think we need GetArtifacts. Even if we want to change this
later, it's better to keep it separate from the more immediate switch
to Artifact-as-a-Proto.
