No view / Item ID for all Albums and/or photos

OK...I have hit a major stumbling block in the move from JS to ES as there appears to be no view for all Photos/Albums. Are there any plans for this and if so in the interim would it be easy to copy the User Album view and modify to show all user albums? I'm not asking for a customisation just need to know before I move any further with ES.....Also, will ES Pages / Groups have Item IDs ?
