Using an IriTemplate with a class or property

Hi All,

After having played about the past days making a JSON-LD wrapper for an existing
API, it seems that alot of what I'm doing is related to IRI templates.

Is there any way that a hydra:IriTemplate can be linked to a class or property
to allow the client to figure out what is the next request to make?

As an example here is the JSON-LD for a thing:
http://breweryld.semaku.com/beer/CTKv9o

Which was built from this original JSON:
http://breweryld.semaku.com/beer/CTKv9o?json

So for example I would define a template like this for the beer:
http://breweryld.semaku.com/beer/{id}#id

This would be linked to the Beer class and a client would know how to build the
URI by populating the template with the data at hand, in this case the value of
the id key.

Similarly I might define a template like this for a style:
http://breweryld.semaku.com/style/{styleId}#id

This template can be linked to the styleId property and that the client would
know how to build the URI based on the property value.

Putting this logic in the Hydra client would help having to implement similar
logic on server side in many APIs.
