Any ability to interact with standard Lightning components?

As per Chandra's post here, there's a discussion/question about how, it at all, Skuid can update standard Lightning components.

The suggested work around is to force refresh the page. Clearly not a great way to handle updating records in standard lightning components.

To me, if I were part of the Salesforce team, I'd be sure to make it possible for custom components to interact via standard events for all components.
