Accessing nested REST resources

[charles-effting]

Hi there,

I'm working on an integration between the dstore/Rest with a RESTful server. However, I'm struggling to fetch resources such as "/authors/1/books", as the current dstore implementation just appends the "id" of a resource.

I can have a Rest store which fetches the authors, but I can't have a Rest store which fetches the books from a selected author. I'd like to have something like this in the "target" of the store: "/authors/{id}/books".

This looks very basic, but I don't get it the purpose of this architecture. That's why I'm asking: how is the correct approach to my case? Changing the REST API doesn't seem reasonable from my point of view.

Best regards,
Charles.
