Thanks to @alex-wayne who pointed out this question to me. For Reference, the approach which he proposed most likely originated from this github issue. More precisely this answer from pleerock, the core contributor.

Moreover, I personally prefer the first approach. In practice, with the addition to using the create method:

const content = 'mockContent';
const providerId = '5be045b1-ef49-4818-b69f-a45c0b7e53';

const provider = new Provider();
provider.id = providerId;
       
const item = this.itemRepository.craete({ content, provider })

await this.repository.save(item);
