The entity-rendering function for this instance provides a carousel of the entity's documents, so that lets you browse them and open the single-document dialog -- but you can't modify the documents' descriptions or tags from there. Maybe if there was a way to get from the dialog for a document (ie pandora.local/documents/ABCD) to the Manage Documents dialog with document ABCD selected, then that might be good enough.

More follow-up from #2890: there are entities with names like "Café" and "Stairs outside Café". In Manage Documents, it's not possible to find only those documents tagged with "Café" without also matching "Stairs outside Café". Again, I don't know how best to solve this without introducing iTunes-style columns for each entity type, like the main Videos view.
