Currently the only way to get up-to-date data about a system through the Journal is to jump into that system. I realise that we shouldn't let a user get data through the Journal that the User cannot get in game at that moment (for example getting the detailed star properties of Beagle Point without visiting it ever). But once we DS scan a system, its system map is open for us permanently, something we can see in game anytime we want. What if opening the system map of a system writes a journal event, with a similar schema to FSDJump. This would help in getting data from remote locations to the 3rd party tools without needing to visit those systems.
