Thanks, Antti, for confirming the behavior I'm seeing. In the meantime Richard 
created an issue. Strangely I don't see his reply here in the forum. In any 
case it's here: https://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MGNLUI-3386

I hacked a workaround for now: I created a custom validator class which will 
display an error message if the selected node is not of a certain type 
(actually not among a list of allowed types). 

For this I however encountered already the next problem: The validator has no 
access to the field definition if I'm not mistaken. So when you define the 
targetWorkspace in the link field definition, you have to provide it in the 
validator again... Well, I agree that this might not be the ordinary every day 
use case, but an other more common use case for a validator would be that it 
should know what type of content is expected (String, Long, Double, Date). 
Therefore it would be nice if the validators somehow had a reference to the 
field definition.

But ok. I'm changing subjects here ;-)
