Right now, the REST API returns the URLs of links configured using the Link fieldtype.
However, for entry links, there's no way to know any more information about the link, other than its URL. You could loop through and query each collection individually but that's certainly far from ideal.
In Antlers/Blade land, #8911 made it possible to get more "information" about a linked entry. However, that change was never reflected in the REST API, due to the fact it'd be a breaking change.
This PR follows-up and makes that breaking change so consumers of the REST API can get more context of linked entries without having to do a lot of work.
