 Couldn't find any tickets related to this, probably because this page is
 broken (?): https://core.trac.wordpress.org/component/REST+API

 There are situations where we "link" to other posts using custom fields,
 and would like to include said posts when querying for the post that
 includes said links.
 Here's what I already get from the standard /wp/v2/posts/123 endpoint.

 {{{
 "linkedProductCards": [
   856628
 ]
 }}}

 I'd like to be able to easily fetch and embed the posts under
 linkedProductCards, with just one network request.


 {{{
 "_embedded": {
   "linkedProductCards": [
     { "id": 856642, "date": "2018-08-06T14:32:06", .. },
   ]
 }
 }}}

 And I'd like to be able to have control over whether the embedded post
 also embeds, as making a separate network request to get the featured
 image object kinda defeats the purpose of this feature.
