     * Gets an optional map of restricted named entity combinations (linkage). Returned map is a map of entity ID to a set
     * of other entity IDs, with each key-value pair defining the restricted combination. Restricting certain entities
     * from being linked (or referenced) by some other entities allows to reduce "wasteful" parsing variant
     * generation. For example, it we know that entity with ID "adjective" cannot be sorted, we can restrict it
     * from being linked with <code>nlpcraft:limit</code> and <code>nlpcraft:sort</code> entities to reduce the
     * amount of parsing variants being generated.
     * <p>
     * Only the following built-in entities can be restricted (i.e., to be the keys in the returned map):
     * <ul>
     *     <li><code>nlpcraft:limit</code></li>
     *     <li><code>nlpcraft:sort</code></li>
     *     <li><code>nlpcraft:relation</code></li>
     * </ul>
     * Note that entity cannot be restricted to itself (entity ID cannot appear as key as well as a
     * part of the value's set).
