      [Proposed]

      The annotation odata.associationLink on a navigation property returns entity references of all entities that are related via the annotated navigation property.

      It would be convenient to have a means for accessing references to all directly related entities, independently of the navigation property.

      The canonical URL value of this annotation could be <entity>?$expand=*/$ref or a variation thereof.
