Nick,

I would prefer the data not saved in the LinkingContext as the whole 
information is lost on what data was dynamically exported when using 
--output-filetype=YAML.

The dynamic export functionality cannot be tested outside the Reader.

Having a reference type inbuilt into the linker would be much more 
useful, IMO.
