Description
I have an Embeddable composite key consisting of two ManyToOne relations.
Currently they are exposed as one self href item resource link.
Is it possible to additionally expose each ManyToOne relation as a separate item resource link in the _links section?

Start by reproducing the reported Embeddable composite key with two ManyToOne relations and inspect the current _links output, which exposes one self href item resource link. Determine the expected separate item resource links for each relation; done means the requested links are exposed consistently.
