Unwanted loading of child properties using LINQ to CRM

In any case, can I load child properties with the client of child objects on the CRM object using the LINQ to CRM provider provided in SDK 4.0.12? I am looking for something the same as the template in the Entity Framework as shown here . I would like to be able to do this so that we can align our repository interfaces with those that we already have against EF.

As a side, I know that I can do this on the client side through the WCF data service, exposing my DataContext and then using the .Expand () extension method. Thus, it does not seem like such a step to allow me to do the same on the server.
