Changes in this PR
This is a first attempt at updating Embedded Content-facing code to read human-readable Content ID Aliases rather than UUID Content IDs, meaning users can assign meaningful names to embedded content.
It's a large diff, and can probably be slightly better committed to help with reviewing and prevent tests from failing.
I'm sure there are some improvements we can make to this, but as we're potentially pivoting onto other work, I'm pushing this currently working draft for future reference.
