Choose the term "resource reference" as a generalization of "entity reference".
Restricted resource references to references to entities and properties of entities.

We didn't define yet how to get at a resource reference other than an entity reference: for an entity reference we append /$ref to the resource path or expand item.

For sub-resources of entities I propose we also allow adding /$ref to the resource path, and disallow path segments after /$ref.

Valid:
~/Movies(1)/$ref
~/Movies(1)/Title/$ref

Invalid:
~/Movies(1)/$ref/Title
