Would it be possible to attach the buffer object or the original buffer
name to the completion candidate string as text property? This would
make it possible to attach annotations via Marginalia or to execute
buffer actions via Embark. Otherwise I don't see a possibility to access
the original buffer, since they are only present in the `unique-names`
alist local variable.
