Hi, I am trying to add internalLink annotation to block content, but after I create a separate type internalLink and use it in the annotation tag via: 
annotations: [{ type: 'internalLink' }]
studio trow me error:
Uncaught error
Could not resolve jsonType of undefined. No parent type found

(Your browsers Developer Tools may contain more info)
internalLink definitions:

import React from 'react';

const InternalLinkRender = ({ children }) => <span>{children} 🔗</span>;

export default {
  title: 'Internal link to another document',
  name: 'internalLink',
  type: 'reference',
  description: 'Locate a document you want to link to',
  to: [{ type: 'page' }, { type: 'route' }],
  blockEditor: {
    icon: () => '🔗',
    render: InternalLinkRender,
  },
};
In browser console I have this errortrace:

Uncaught Error: Could not resolve jsonType of undefined. No parent type found

Can you try replacing 
annotations: [{ type: 'internalLink' }]
with 
annotations: [internalLink]
, then making sure you’re importing 
internalLink
.

ok this works, if I import internalLink direct to document where I use it. But I thought it was enough to add it to the schemas.js as a new type.

In your 
schema.js
did you both import 
internalLink
and add it to the types array?

yes, like many other types. It work if I use it non as annotation but as field in this document, but in the annotation it trwos this error. If I import it directly to document and use it this way, I have problem with resolve reference in the GraphQL qeury.
