TS error for self-referencing type definitions

'Link' implicitly has type 'any' because it does not have a type annotation and is referenced directly or indirectly in its own initializer.

Workaround: Use any

One further idea how to solve it: Special "string rule" for self-recursive definitions:

@schickling I think that would be a reasonable approach, as long as that's how of behaved in non-recursive scenarios. Otherwise we're asking developers to use of in two different ways, and that could be confusing.
