      Description

      Hi there,

      at the moment opening the rest representation of a given entity I see this:

      {
  "_links" : {
    "self" : {
      "href" : "https://localhost:8112/storefront/rest/category{?page,size,sort}",
      "templated" : true
    },
    "next" : {
      "href" : "https://localhost:8112/storefront/rest/category?page=2&size=20{&sort}",
      "templated" : true
    },
    "search" : {
      "href" : "https://localhost:8112/storefront/rest/category/search"
    }
  },
  "_embedded" : {
....
}

      What I would love to see is the ability to specify custom links in the `_links` section. So that the end result would be like this:

      {
  "_links" : {
    "self" : {
      "href" : "https://localhost:8112/storefront/rest/category{?page,size,sort}",
      "templated" : true
    },
    "next" : {
      "href" : "https://localhost:8112/storefront/rest/category?page=2&size=20{&sort}",
      "templated" : true
    },
    "search" : {
      "href" : "https://localhost:8112/storefront/rest/category/search"
    },
    "mynewlink": {
     "href" : "https://localhost:8112/storefront/rest/category/mynewlink"
    }
  },
  "_embedded" : {
...
}
