Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing relation APIs and database relation tests, then define the scope and expected behavior for polymorphic relations before implementation; done means the proposed usage works with coverage for the supported cases.

Description

type:feature

In 2.0, it is very upsetting that there are no polymorphic relations out of the box.
It would be cool to be able to use such relations.
It would be very nice to use something like this:

return $this->hasMany(Comment::class, ['entity_id' => 'id'])
    ->polyTo(['entity_type'], static::class);
