There are cases when dealing with domain object graphs where you might want to update the reference to the related object without allowing changes to that related object.

For instance, if you were handling assignment in a workflow, and you wanted an operation to allow the item to be reassigned, you might to change the reference to the assignee but not allow that operation to update fields on the assignee.

There are lots of potential implementation details -- are the assignees User DTOs or User Ids, or what? Is this just a case of using a `@Translation` annotation?

Anyway -- this is something we need to be able to configure.
