Your feature request

Right now, if you do a service call such as:

a = self.ad_api.call_service('todo/get_items', entity_id='todo.chores', return_result=True)

Appdaemon says:

appdaemon  | 2023-12-04 21:17:03.183763 INFO AppDaemon: Calling initialize() for ToDo

Any ETAs on that? I've read on Discord that it's not that simple to implement this.
Any workarounds available?

Checkout the workaround at the end.
