I wanted to revitalize this request as this is a need my team has, and it can be solved in a myriad of ways, including some related requests in here such as:
The bottom line is we use comments and references as the primary updates in entities. This is particularly relevant with work-type entities such as tasks, projects, initatives, decisions, etc. It would be much more useful if you could just glance at an entity and see in one stream the comments, as well as the references, in chronological order, to get an idea of its history.
If this is going to be solved some way differently that would be great, too.
