Comment (by chrisvanpatten):

 As an idea that could solve this while preserving the current behavior of
 not expanding the `self` links, I wonder if there could be an additional
 link, with a different [https://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations
 /link-relations.xhtml relational keyword], marked as `embeddable` instead?

 There are a few that could be relevant:

 > **via**: Identifies a resource that is the source of the information in
 the link's context.

 > **related**: Identifies a related resource.

 > **original**: The Target IRI points to an Original Resource.

 > **describedby**: Refers to a resource providing information about the
 link's context.

 Not sure if any of those are viable (or if a second link is itself a
 viable option) but it could be an easy fix.
