My content has a "Featured Image" that I would like to use in a custom grid controller. So far, this is the only way I've been able to make it happen. 

contentResource.getById(editorState.current.id)
.then(function (content) {
    $scope.props = contentEditingHelper.getAllProps(content);

        var id = $scope.props[1].value;

        entityResource.getById(id, "Media").then(function (item) {
            $scope.control.value = item.metaData.umbracoFile.Value.src;
            });
});

There's got to be a simpler way, right? (preferrably one that doesn't make me hardcode an array index and drill through metadata to find an image url)

I would like to do something like: 

editorState.current.parentId.featuredImage.url;

or

$scope.parent.featuredImage.url;
