Eager loading via user defined function in Entity Framework 4.1

Question

I’m using Entity framework 4.1. Fluent API to map my model to pre-defined database. Is there any way to use eager initialization of complex properties via stored procedures or user defined functions? For example:

public class Car
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public Model Model {get;set}
    public int Year {get;set;}
    public ICollection<Part> Parts { get; set; }
}

Let’s say I have a user defined function in the database that takes Car Id as an input and returns list of parts. Is there any chance to make EF using it?

Thanks.
