There is a case to be made (mostly for propagation latency) for a synchronous way to read messages (yet still having the asynchronous message queue).

From @RangerMauve (ipfs/kubo#9717 (comment)):

I like the approach! One thing however, it'd be nice if one could also open something like an EventSource stream to subscribe to changes in realtime to remove the necessity of polling.

Two questions to answer:

do we want to keep that API simple at first? Likely yes (as advised by @lidel)
what would that looks like? websocket? long running HTTP request?
