[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] draft/other statuses in shortcode?

I don’t think that’s a good idea.

You can query for connected draft posts yourself, in PHP, as described here:

You’re probably right. It’s probably a very low use case scenario. I did end up doing it via PHP, and I think anyone who has a similar application can probably handle it the same way.
Thanks for considering it though. I continue to be amazed by how many times I come across your postings all over the web to solve my issues!

Okeydoke, I have this partly working. I can show all of my sessions, and the speakers that are connected will show up, whether live or draft, but ONLY on published sessions.
How can I pull up the speakers for draft sessions?
Right now, my each_connected looks like:
p2p_type( 'sessions_to_speakers' )->each_connected( $post->sessions, array('post_status' => 'any'), 'speakers' );
