      Scenario: I am editing an edition, work, publication and do a search for an author/other human/publisher/etcetera and find it is not already in the database.
      I therefore open another tab to add this entity.

      After this is finished, I return to the other entity - No amount of searching for exact name nor pasting bbids will fetch the newly added entity
      This creates a really bad user workflow - user will have to exit and re-enter editing screen/make extra revisions/etc.

      Solution: let newly created entity be fetchable right away (ElasticSearch is probably to blame here.)

      Eventually having popup-moduls for adding authors and publicists (at the very least, like artist/label on MB) in-line search (but that requires a fix for BB-477)

      Edit: actually it seems even refreshing will not let 11aedf6b-c904-4b20-be58-877a66851b25 be fetched in https://beta.bookbrainz.org/edition/7b6ad17d-3b8d-4a84-bcd0-4df039f15dba/edit
      This is a regression as I distinctly remember to be able to do this.

      In reverse (editing on https://beta.bookbrainz.org/author/11aedf6b-c904-4b20-be58-877a66851b25 to link https://beta.bookbrainz.org/edition/7b6ad17d-3b8d-4a84-bcd0-4df039f15dba/edit works, but is unoptimal)
