Retrieving specific subsections of an object

[Mec-iS]

I'm submitting a

• feature request.

Expected Behaviour:

Should be possible to retrieve parts of an object or objects by using an endpoint like http://localhost/api/drone/1#speed, in this case the API should return something like:

{
  "@id": ".../drone/1",
  "@type": "...Drone",
  "drone:speed": 35
}

Could we use URL-encoded parameters instead ?
Something like http://localhost/api/drone/1?attr=speed

Because according to this answer

As such, flask drops everything after the '#'. If you want to forward these to the server, you'll have to extract them on the client and pass them to the server via a query parameter or part of the URL path.

In fact fragments are a client-side feature according to RFC. So should be up to the Hydra client (hydra-agent) to map #speed to ?attr=speed when dereferencing and the opposite for hydrus when referencing. But it is something that we should keep for later.

This is a part of the client-server protocol so we should remember that when designing the client. The current client we are using and that we should improve does not consider this feature.
