Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the Rails library maps an endpoint to a controller and Resource, then examine how STI variants are currently handled. The work would be complete when the supported behavior for multiple types at one endpoint is defined and verified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is it possible to accept multiple types at the same endpoint and use the corresponding Resource? i.e. multiple STI variants all using the same controller rather than making a controller for each?
