Passing the entity object/ID/URL into the component

I think the tokens road is the my preferred, but I could go both ways.

Ran into the same problem, needed the URL of the entity when using the display.

As a workaround, you could still add a field to host those values on the node (hide them in the node form) and use hook_node_view to alter the fields values and set the required values (the hook has access to the node entity).

But I’m agree, it would be great to have those values available out of the box. As well, it would be a good idea to allow pseudo fields to be used in the SDC display mapping.

Taking a look a this, we can easily fall into entities that do not have canonical URLs

Drupal\Core\Entity\Exception\UndefinedLinkTemplateException: Cannot generate default URL because no link template 'canonical' or 'edit-form' was found for the 'paragraph' entity type in Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityBase->toUrl() (line 211 of core/lib/Drupal/Core/Entity/EntityBase.php). 

I think it is ok to pass id, entity_type and bundle, but we should remove URL and leave that for 📌 Implement Token Replacements Active

Thanks all!
