Yes. Resolve returns the corresponding *Definition. There's currently
nothing builtin that does a Resolve + rebuilding of a type spec.

Just implement it on top of Resolve, something like:
public static TypeReference ResolvePreserve (this TypeReference self)
{
if (self.IsGenericInstance) {
var previous_instance = (GenericInstanceType) self;
var instance = new GenericInstanceType
(previous_instance.ElementType.ResolvePreserve ());
foreach (var argument in previous_instance.GenericArguments)
instance.GenericArguments.Add (argument.ResolvePreserve
());
}
if (self.IsArray) {
// ..
}
if (self.IsByReference) {
//
}
return self.Resolve ();
}
