$select Id in EmployeeId uri query without specifying the propertyname












1














I have a odata api with a bunch of classes similar to this:



public class Store
{
[Key]
public Guid StoreId { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}

public class Product
{
[Key]
public Guid ProductId { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public Guid StoreId { get; set; }
public Store Store { get; set; }

}

public class Employee
{
[Key]
public Guid EmployeeId { get; set; }
public string name { get; set; }
}


and would like to return just the keys of queried entities in an odata uri.
I'd like to be able to query a Store and get just the id's of all nested entities. a result similar to:



"StoreId": "b755d42f-6aa9-4022-bd45-03f9922597f6",
"Employee": [
{
"EmployeeId": "143baded-244e-4e0b-9baf-1acc7062eaa8"
},
{
"EmployeeId": "95daa7e5-bae8-43e3-8a99-ecd8dfbceae6"
}


I'd expect to be able to use a uri like $select=$id to just return the keys on any odata query, but I don't seem to be able to find anything on the subject.
As the names are by convention
I have also looked into searching for propertynames and putting the result in the $select param



TLDR: is there a way to $select the id's of an entity in a odata query without literally typing the id property name?
