Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem.
I am trying to select only a couple of properties from an expanded collection using LINQ, but .Expand() doesn't allow using .Select() on sub properties.
Describe the solution you'd like.
graphServiceClient
.Me
.Request()
.Select(x => new { x.Id, x.Mail, x.DisplayName, x.Department })
.Expand(x => new { MemberOf = x.MemberOf.Select(x => new { x.Id, x.DisplayName }) })
Additional context?
The query that I an trying to generate, that I have verified works in graph explorer: https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me?$select=id,mail,department,displayName&$expand=memberOf($select=id,displayName)

Research direction
Start with the nested Expand and Select expression in the issue and compare the generated request with the Graph Explorer URL shown. Done means the SDK accepts the expression and produces the nested $expand memberOf($select=id,displayName) query alongside the top-level selection.
