Transitive lazy loading in spring entities

Question

I have a spring service with some related entities.

Here's entity A:

@Entity
class A {

  @Id
  @GeneratedValue(strategy=AUTO)
  Long id;

  @OneToOne(fetch=LAZY)
  @JoinColumn(name = "b_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
  B bThing;

}

and entity B:

@Entity
class B {

  @Id
  @GeneratedValue(strategy=AUTO)
  Long id;

  String someProperty;
  
  @Basic(fetch=LAZY)
  @Column(columnDefinition="BLOB")
  @Lob
  String wayTooBigThing;

}

Let's say I get a reference to an A from ARepository#findById. Hibernate proxifies the lazy loading for B is as expected, but if I do A.getBThing() at all, it loads the whole B entity, including the lazy large object, which is causing issues.

Is there a way to have lazy loading transitively? I want to be able to do aRepository.findById(x).getBThing().getSomeProperty() without triggering the loading of the large object in B.
