I have had a look at the GWT source code.
All of the magic happens in the class
"com.google.gwt.requestfactory.server.Resolver",
specifically in a method the method "static boolean
matchesPropertyRef(Set<String> propertyRefs, String newPrefix)".

>From what I can see, in order to change this functionality in my
application to allow for wild cards, I would have to write my own
implementations of the following classes:
    * com.google.gwt.requestfactory.server.Resolver
    * com.google.gwt.requestfactory.server.RequestState
    * com.google.gwt.requestfactory.server.SimpleRequestProcessor
    * com.google.gwt.requestfactory.server.RequestFactoryServlet

After I have finished my current deadline and familiarized myself with
the ins/outs of contributing to the GWT source code, I am intending
submit a patch to allow for wild cards.  The following are examples of
what should probably be supported:
        request.findParent(1L).with("*")
        request.findParent(1L).with("child.*")
        request.findParent(1L).with("**")
        request.findParent(1L).with("child.**")
