For CodeSystem/$lookup we either need to
- add an extra parameter for explicitly mentioning additional supplements to use,
- automatically include all known (to the server) supplements for the code system, or
- relax the restriction on the supplement's URI being used as the system parameter.
These are not (all) mutually exclusive options.
In any case, it would be very useful to have a sanctioned, consistent, and clear mechanism for including supplement-sourced properties in the $lookup result so that the client can determine the provenance of the additional values. This should probably also work for supplemented designations.
