How to work with server responses that contain a link to other data located at a different URL?
For example, the server response may be as follows (we get two objects that contain three links to child elements each. Data on child elements are located at the corresponding URLs):

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "url": "/api/itemCollection/1/",
        "items": [
            "/api/item/1/",
            "/api/item/2/",
            "/api/item/3/"
        ]   
    },
    {
        "id": 2,
        "url": "/api/itemCollection/2/",
        "items": [
            "/api/item/1/",
            "/api/item/4/",
            "/api/item/5/"
        ]   
    }
]
