Just a sidenote here. For DSpace 7, the REST API is being completely rebuilt/redesigned, and it will have more extensive search and browse endpoints capable of searching/browsing whatever fields/facets are indexed in your Solr index (i.e. Discovery: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Discovery).
These endpoints are still in active development, but are being documented in our new REST Contract as they are being built: https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract/blob/master/endpoints.md This doesn't resolve the current question, but I'd encourage others to take part in the DSpace 7 REST API development process, especially if you'd like to see very specific features come out of that work.
