function EntityReferenceItem::hasNewEntity

Determines whether the item holds an unsaved entity.

This is notably used for "autocreate" widgets, and more generally to support referencing freshly created entities (they will get saved automatically as the hosting entity gets saved).

Return value

bool TRUE if the item holds an unsaved entity.
