The caller usually knows what bean it's working with.

There was a proposal to enhance Instance similarly as Weld API does:
http://docs.jboss.org/weld/reference/latest/en-US/html/injection.html#_enhanced_version_of_literal_javax_enterprise_inject_instance_literal

But it was rejected/postponed. See also CDI-515, CDI-589, CDI-651 and 
related discussions.
