Link / Array types: Should I be able to select an entry record without referencing a field on another record?

I have created an experience component that, for now, just displays "Hello" and console.logs the result of resolving the Link variable type it has. I have the Link bindingSourceType set to Entry because I want to be able to select a team member from my space. However when I select a team member record the normal binding window opens asking me to pick a field inside of it. The interesting part is even though I specified the bindingSourceType to be an entry the only Link type field on this record is an Asset so from this I have questions:

1. Can I select an entire entry instead of binding to a field on an entry? I want to select a person and have their whole record linked in.
2. Although technically the first dropdown selector only allows me to select an entry, the sub field selector allowed me to pick an asset so I think validation may be incorrect here?

Am I doing something wrong?
