More consensus is needed on how this endpoint should work. There is a desire for something more generalized than a tool that navigates "has_input" and "has_output" relationships.

One idea is to use @eecavanna's refscan tool to create and cache a dict of possible paths between any two connected mongo collections.

I think this is something that will come up in the next referential integrity meeting.

In the meantime, I've prototyped a more specific use-case for traversing from data objects to biosamples [link to GH issue needed]
