That is bad by principle. If new data object types start to show up in the community, lets say... 20 new types, the display would have to check if the object was not from those 20 types before assuming a launcher. And, if the author of a "display" from one of those 20 types decides to create a lazy mode too, then it becomes impossible to solve.
