Does anyone know if it is possible to retrieve a list of work items and their linked work items in one trip from TFS using their TFS API web services?

At the moment, we are having to make a second call for each of the work items made during the first call, and is introducing a performace issue.

If that is not possibly, is there a way to peek at the type of the linked work item without retrieving them (e.g. See if it is a task or issue) ?
