How to load properties of a navigation property?

[benjamin-almarza]

I don't have problems retrieving scalar properties, but I have linting errors when those properties belong to navigation property.

As you can see in my code the id is not directly in "selection" but one level deeper.

 const myFunction = async (context: Word.RequestContext): Promise<MyOutputType> => {
  const selection = context.document.getSelection();

  selection.load([
    "parentContentControlOrNullObject/id",
    "parentContentControlOrNullObject/parentContentControlOrNullObject/id",
  ]);

  await context.sync();

  const id = selection.parentContentControlOrNullObject.id;
  const parentId = selection.parentContentControlOrNullObject.parentContentControlOrNullObject.id;

 return { id,  parentId };
}

The warning look like this:

Calling load on the navigation property 'parentContentControlOrNullObject/id' slows down your add-in.eslintoffice-addins/no-navigational-load

And gives me a links to this page

What can I do to avoid those warning? What is the best and most efficient way to do this.
