Description
When comparing link integrity on the Plone classic UI and Volto, I noticed a weird difference.
When having the following setup:
- page #1
- page #2 (links to page #1)
When now trying to delete both pages, there should be no link breakage, since the pages references themselves. This is true for the classic UI, see screenshot:
Now compare this with Volto modal:
The Volto modal complains about a potential link breakage, which should not be there.
This was verified with Volto 17.0 and plone.restapi 8.37 and the Plone 6.1 coredev version.

Research direction
Start by locating the link integrity endpoint in plone.restapi and compare its result with the behavior shown in the classic UI and Volto modal. Reproduce the two-page self-reference case described in the issue. Done means the endpoint no longer reports link breakage for pages being deleted together, with a regression test covering that case.
