New description:

 In the Media / Attachments REST API endpoint, can we include the `post`
 (i.e. attached parent or "uploaded to") in the response, as a link under
 `_links`?

 The goal here is to make it easier to display or work with the "uploaded
 to" / "attached to" field of media via the REST API endpoint, as part of
 exploring a new media library.

 In my explorations so far, it will be a fair bit easier to work with if we
 can include a link in the API response to the `post` that the media item
 is associated with, as we'd then be able to query the endpoint with
 `_embed: 'post'` to list out the post title that media is linked to.

 For context, the new media library is being proposed in
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/55238, where an Attached to
 / Uploaded to field will be required.

 Update: the final shape of this link relation is `https://api.w.org
 /attached-to`.
