The lighter the better, of course.
Do you have a suggestion about how to map this information into the
existing host details XML structure? Would you recommend using the
existing detected_at and detected_by entries and add a single host
detail to link result IDs?

I'm a bit concerned by the final result, as this would require more
processing to extract the final result. If it's fine for GSA, it's not
convenient for user-specific toolchains. It's like having the
information in the report without really making it easily available...

So if we can find a simple and convenient mapping to export the
information as host details, then I would agree that this is the best
option. Otherwise I think that extending OMP worth it.

Regards.
