Besides having a considerable number of well defined entities, I have one entity where I only know the base structure.

public class BaseEntity: Entity
{
  public string Name {get; set;}
.. other common attributes here
}

The actual entities to store would derive from BaseEntity - but instead of getting the typed object, I'm getting a JSON document. Is there a way to handle with with MongoDB.Entites other than declaring an additional string prop that holds the json? In the official MongoDb driver I'm using a table of BsonDocument which allows for that, but MongoDB.Entities seems much more suited for the rest of what I'm doing.
