Research direction

The issue does not identify a file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the OSLC query and command-line examples in this Python client, then determine where child work items and fields such as type and ID would be exposed; done should be a clear, usable way to retrieve that data.

Description

I have been working on a project that requires me to access the child(ren) of a work item through a custom attribute script. Is there an easy way to access a work items children and its data (ex: type, id, etc.)?
