Comment (by jnylen0):

 This is for the feature of the link dialog that allows linking to a post
 or page. See #38920 for the core ticket to update this to use the REST
 API.

 For reference, here is the code that currently drives this Ajax action:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.8/src/wp-includes/class-wp-
 editor.php#L1558

 Thanks for explaining your concerns; I agree this isn't the best fit for
 the existing `wp/v2 endpoints.  However, shifting the responsibility to
 the client to batch requests isn't a great solution either.

 We could write a minimal endpoint to provide this functionality and ship
 it in Gutenberg first.
