If they are traversable objects, then you can store paths as identifiers
instead of objects. Remember that any objects referenced in the log will
be kept around as long as the log entry is alive. Perhaps this is what
you want, however.

The separate storage is an idea that probably shouldn't be done unless a
clear need is demonstrated, since it complicates the configuration a
good bit.
