Define meaning of odata.associationLink on entity level
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: ODATA-432
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ODATA-432
             Project: OASIS Open Data Protocol (OData) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: OData Extension for JSON Data 
    Affects Versions: V4.0_CSD01
         Environment: [Proposed]
            Reporter: Ralf Handl
             Fix For: V5.0_WD01


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.
