BSON serialization in C# driver for MongoDB

I just started playing with MongoDB and official c# driver for it. And I have a small question regarding objects serialization. For example we have a classes: 

public class User
{
    public string Name;

    public List<Comment> Comments = new List<Comment>(){ new Comment() };
    public List<Card> Cards = new List<Card>() { new Card() };
}

public class Comment
{
    public string Id;
    public string Text;
}

public class Card
{
    public string Id;
    public string Text;
}

I want to get serialized Cards collection within User, but Comments collection like DBRef. Is it possible to achieve it with latest standard c# driver? It will be really cool to use some attribute like:

public class User
{
    public string Name;

    [UseDBRef]
    public List<Comment> Comments = new List<Comment>(){ new Comment() };

    public List<Card> Cards = new List<Card>() { new Card() };
}

Have a look at this project in GitHub.

https://github.com/virajs/MongoDB-Mapping-Attributes.git

This project mainly provide you with two mapping attributes. OneToMany and ManyToOne. Checkout the code and play around with the test project.

You could declare your Comments property as List<MongoDBRef> and handle the relationship yourself but there is no automatic support for that.
