Description

For some use cases like Source Maps packages may wish to not include the full asset within themselves but have another package containing debugging symbols. Currently fragment URLs are proposed for removal, however I don't see a clear way to have a situation like:

minified.webpackage
\- index.min.js
source-maps.webpackage
\- index.min.js.map

And have index.min.js able to point to index.min.js.map.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed removal of fragment URLs and the package relationship described in this issue. Determine how an asset in minified.webpackage can reference index.min.js.map in source-maps.webpackage. Done means the cross-package resource-linking behavior and its compatibility with the web packaging format are clearly specified.
