Comment:

 Yeah this is a bit of an annoying issue. The problem is that
 `rest_filter_response_fields` will remove the `_links` field before link
 embedding is processed. So the server doesn't know what resources to
 embed.

 We could perhaps fix this by not excluding `_links` in
 `rest_filter_response_fields` if `_embed` is set.

 Another step would be to reduce the `_links` to only contain entries
 specified by `_embed` if `_links` is not included in `_fields` at all.
