OData v4: Change the Reference in a Single-Valued Navigation Property

See original GitHub issue

How am I supposed to change a reference in a single-valued navigation property using the UI5 OData v4 Model? The OData documentation states that this could be accomplished by following request:

PUT serviceRoot/People('russellwhyte')/Trips(1001)/PlanItems(11)/Microsoft.OData.SampleService.Models.TripPin.Flight/Airline/$ref

OData-Version: 4.0
Content-Type: application/json;odata.metadata=minimal
Accept: application/json

{
"@odata.id": "serviceRoot/Airlines('FM')"
}

But I cannot find a way to achieve this by using the UI5 classes in sap.ui.model.odata.v4. Am I missing something? If I try to change the value of the navigation property via the setProperty method of sap.ui.model.odata.v4.Context I get an error that states that $ref is not a (navigation) property. Besides that the setProperty method only allows primitive values.

Any kind of help is much appreciated.

Greetings Marvin
