No. The behavior you're describing is known as "faulting." Core
Data
only faults objects, not attributes.
This is not the case with iPhone OS -- see NSFetchRequest's
setPropertiesToFetch:

You can specify a subset of properties to fetch in the initial
request. If you request others at a later stage, the remainder of
the object's data will be faulted in.
That is exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!
