While raw JSON does not include a link type, this needn't be a problem in practice. For example, distlib already contains mechanisms which support cross-references and references to external data, as per the example code in [1]. I will shortly be adding to this a mechanism to integrate data in external files in a standardised way. The distlib code is an extension of the mechanisms already in the stdlib in logging.config and used by dictConfig, which are documented at [2].
