Bug Description
Use case:
- contact auto-completion
When typing addressees in an email app, you want to be able to use auto-completion from your contacts without disclosing more data than necessary.
The only secure way seems to be for the content hub to own the display of matching results, otherwise we're opening ourselves to a brute-force attack to get data on all the contacts.
So my proposal would be that, as usual, a content hub operation is started for the search (decorated with originator geometry most likely), the hub queries all relevant data sources and displays a list of matching results. The search query will need to be updated as the user types. Selecting one of those would trigger the actual content exchange.
This type of prompt could not gain focus (as to allow the user to continue typing in the text entry), and would probably need to support some styling properties to make it fit within the originator app.

Added dekko as the project to immediately benefit from this.
