      In 11.5.4.1 Invoking an Action we define that

      Actions that create and return a single entity follow the rules for entity creation and return a Location header that contains the edit URL or read URL of the created entity.

      Currently there's no way for clients and generic tools to recognize such "constructor" or "factory" actions. Annotating these actions would be helpful for e.g. OpenAPI generation from $metadata.
