This will load a reference property.
IRepository:
void LoadProperty(TEntity item, Expression<Func<TEntity, object>> property);
IRepositoryAsync:
Task LoadProperty(TEntity item, Expression<Func<TEntity, object>> property);
Repository (.NET Core implementation -- will be different for EF 6.x):
public void LoadProperty(PlexApp item, Expression<Func<PlexApp, object>> property) => _context.Entry(item).Reference(property).Load();
public async Task LoadProperty(PlexApp item, Expression<Func<PlexApp, object>> property) => await _context.Entry(item).Reference(property).LoadAsync();
