Hey all,

I'm trying to add a custom link to the repository URL but so far I've been unsuccessful.

Currently I have a custom query in my Repository (using the standard Spring data JPA method of extending single repositories) but now I'd like to expose that query method from within the repository with a HATEOAS link.

For example:

<pre>
"links": [
{
"rel": "concept.search",
"href": "http://localhost:8080/trialverse/concepts/search"
},
{
"rel": "concept.treatments",
"href": "http://localhost:8080/trialverse/concepts/treatments"
}
]
</pre>

I know you can add a ResourceProcessor<Resource<?>> to add links to a Resource, but is there a similar construct for the repositories themselves?
