Description
Currently, when you operate on a ToMany, an add or remove loads all entities.
Alternatively we should also have means to modify to-many relations without loading everything to avoid bloating memory (e.g. #392).
Ways to do it:
- Make ToMany lazy when it come to add and remove
- Provide methods to update relations outside of ToMany

Research direction
Start by tracing how ToMany performs add and remove operations and where those operations load all relation entities. Review the related discussion in #392 and determine which approach can modify relations without loading everything; done means add and remove avoid unnecessary full relation loading while preserving correct relationship updates.
