With the new update for db relationships, how can I select only the main collection documents and still get the IDs of the child docs?

Is it possible to select a relationship attribute and not get the env var level deep of relations?

Summary

There is a request for the functionality of selecting specific database relationships, as discussed in this GitHub issue: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/issues/5376. The user is asking for the ability to select only the main collection documents while still retrieving the IDs of the child documents. They are wondering if it is possible to select a relationship attribute without getting the environment variable level relationships. A solution or response from the community is not mentioned in the thread.

Yeah, that would be great to have this option, for example in a Query.select(['todos.$id']) or in other ways.

Example return value with query: Query.select(['name, todos.$id'])

Project {
  name: 'project",
  todos: [
    'docId1',
    'docId2',
  ]
}

It is crucial to my project to use the Relationship feature.
