-----------------------------------------------------------

Just saw, that the second part is already clarified :)
So we only have to add a bullet point to 5.5.7 like
{quote}An instance of InjectionPoint may represent:
...
- An Event obtained dynamically using Event.select(...).{quote}

and this issue can be closed.

> Currently there is no way for observer methods to access the qualifiers of the fired event (i.e. to access @Nonbinding members).
> Consider the following example:
> {code}
> @Inject @MyQualifier
> Event<MyObject> event;
> public void fireEvent(MyObject object, MyTypeValue type) {
>     event.select(new MyTypeAnnotationLiteral(type)).fire(object);
> }
> {code}
> Currently no observer can receive the value of MyTypeValue. I suggest to introduce an interface AnnotatedEvent that extends Annotated and contains this information. It then could be injected via the InjectionPoint like this:
> {code}
> public void observeEvent(@Observes @MyType MyObject object, InjectionPoint ip) {
>     MyType annotation = ip.getAnnotated().getAnnotation(MyType.class);
>     MyTypeValue value = annotation.value();
>     ...
> }
> {code}
