Description
It is difficult to provide a 'canonical' link with the current @InjectLink since query parameters are added to the UriTemplate. As such, the only way to have a 'canonical' link is to create a specific method without query parameters, which obviously pollutes the code.
We propose to add a new property 'isCanonical' to the @InjectLink annotation, that would skip query parameters when UriTemplate is created
#### Affected Versions
[2.22]
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the @InjectLink annotation and the code that creates its UriTemplate. Trace how query parameters are currently added, then determine the annotation and tests that define canonical-link behavior. Done means a canonical option skips query parameters without requiring a separate method, with regression coverage for both canonical and existing links.
