Description
partialExpand UriTemplate or Link is so commonly used ,when build Links from RepositoryEntityLinks , which is convenience don't required developer build link from scratch.
I have a kotlin's extensions to UriTemplate:
@JvmName("partialExpand")
fun UriTemplate.partialExpand(defaults: Map<String, Any>):UriTemplate {
val variables = variables.filter { it.name !in defaults }
return UriTemplate.of(expand(defaults).toUriComponentsBuilder().toUriString(), TemplateVariables(variables))
}

Research direction
Start by reading UriTemplate and Link, then inspect how RepositoryEntityLinks builds links and how expand handles default variables. Compare the proposed partialExpand behavior with the existing UriTemplate API; done means callers can partially expand defaults without rebuilding links from scratch and the behavior is covered by tests.
