And why not use query() also those other 1:1 cases? 

My reasoning is this:
  - query is ok, but it is also plugin-specific and as such less
developer-friendly
  - But that is not a problem if the use cases are rare or, let's say,
not basic.

Now, that's why I asked if you had interesting use cases for reverse
metadata other than the URI of the media. If we don't have them, then I
rather go for the simplest API to solve that case and let the other
cases be handled with query(), which is even more generic, solving 1:1
and 1:N relations.
