Steam/PSN/Live ID from PlayFabID

I can see there are methods for finding a PlayFab Id from a Platform Id but there doesn't seem to be a way to get the Platform Id from the PlayFab Id.

 

When doing cross play we can't share the Platform Id across platforms so players must be identifiable via their PlayFab Id, however when we need to get the players avatar on (for example) Steam we need to turn that PlayFab Id into a Steam Id.

 

What is the suggested method for doing so?

We'll be adding those to the data returned from GetAccountInfo/GetUserAccountInfo shortly (only for the player's own values, or a server call requesting the values, of course - a player will not be able to retrieve another player's IDs).
