Allow simple reference field to paragraph items

First of all apologies for a new ticket the same name as a previous one:
https://www.drupal.org/project/paragraphs/issues/2722379

...but I have a use case where it is a requirement to be able to reference paragraphs in a way where the paragraphs themselves are not updatable.

The scenario is:
User entity has a paragraphs field called "Children".
The children field is a standard entity reference revisions field where unlimited paragraphs can be added.
There is one reference-able paragraph type: "child", which has fields for Name, Age, Height, etc.

Then using the flag module to flag a node against a user. Flag types are fieldable and there is then the structure so a flagged node can be sub flagged to a child(ren) of that user. This is achieved already on a Drupal 7 site where it is possible to "entity reference" either paragraphs or field collections.

We now have to migrate this logic to Drupal 8/9 and it would appear this is not possible as "paragraph item" does not seem to be an option when adding a new "reference" field despite it being a simple reference to an entity, which I have to admit is the strength of Drupal's entity architecture no matter how obscure it might seem.
