Change to an item + change note in metadata?

[dr-shorthair]

When saving a change made to an item, it would be convenient for a change-note (skos:changeNote ?) in the item metadata to be created as part of the same version event. Unclear if this can already be handled in the API. In the UI, item and metadata changes are made separately, and appear to trigger separate version increments.

In the API it is possible to update the item metadata and the entity in one call. So it shouldn't be too difficult to create a UI for doing this.
