It's a bit of a slippery slope; "audio" will undoubtedly be next,
suggesting that we need a property that can accept any MediaObject.

And then MedicalProcedure will need to link to an associated Diet and
ExercisePlan (which are CreativeWorks). Really, "followup" having a
range limited to Text is...  pretty limiting.

So perhaps Thing just needs a property that accepts a range of
CreativeWork to provide this direction of linking? Horribly generic, I
know.
