Re: Am I right that WebPage lacks a generic property for linking to WebPageElement?

mainContentOfPage wouldn't do the trick either since that would define
WebPageElements as being, well, the main-content, while in this type of
case it should be defined as secondary content. And if not that, than at
least some sort of a mechanism to connect WebPageElements to a WebPage
should be available. As well as for the entities they contain.

Now I'm fine with it if it becomes 'hasPart' as opposed to 'mentions' in
combination with 'about', since I don't especially prefer one way over the
other. I do would like to know how to advance from hereon though and while
I'm at it, maybe some clarity in the form of a code example at
schema.orgcould do wonders as well.
