Accessing objects inside json with json-server

Question

I have the following db.json

{
   "cases":{
      "TotalCount":1,
      "StartingPageNumber":1,
      "Data":[
         {
            "Id":1,
            "CaseNumber":"1234",
            "CaseDescription":"Descpp something",
            "CaseDate":"08-28-2020"
         },
         {
            "Id":2,
            "CaseNumber":"4567",
            "CaseDescription":"Descpp somthing again",
            "CaseDate":"08-28-2020"
         },
         {
            "Id":3,
            "CaseNumber":"7654",
            "CaseDescription":"also an Descpp",
            "CaseDate":"08-28-2020"
         },
         {
            "Id":4,
            "CaseNumber":"3322",
            "CaseDescription":"again a Descpp",
            "CaseDate":"08-28-2020"
         }   
      ]
   }
}

my url looks like http://localhost:3000/cases. I can see all the data but when I just want to retrieve only case with Id 1 from the Data

I have been doing alot of reading / trying over past couple of days on how to acess Data inside of json using the json-server to mock apis, can someone guide me in the right direction please.

This is not an answer unless someones comes up with one but looks like this is not possible to do as per json-server https://github.com/typicode/json-server/issues/875

http://localhost:3000/cases/1?_embed=Data
