I think *breaking* it is too strong, but you're right that the reified
triple itself can not be directly referenced outside the local context.
However, it is not unique in that respect, it's somewhat similar to how
blank nodes are treated: you can only reference them indirectly (by means
of specifying the relations in which they occur).

The idea with Linked Data is to follow the links. But <<city:_Seattle

You can't follow a link to the reified statement itself, but you can
decompose to get to its constituent parts of course, and follow those
links.
