Select only specific fields with Linq (EF core)

I have a DbContext where I would like to run a query to return only specific columns, to avoid fetching all the data.
The problem is that I would like to specify the column names with a set of strings, and I would like to obtain an IQueryable of the original type, i.e. without constructing an anonymous type.

Here is an example:

// Install-Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.All
// Install-Package Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore

using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using System;
using System.Linq;

public class Person {
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

public class TestContext : DbContext {
    public virtual DbSet<Person> Persons { get; set; }
    public TestContext(DbContextOptions<TestContext> options) : base(options) {
    }
}

class Program {
    static void Main(string[] args) {

        var builder = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<TestContext>();
        builder.UseInMemoryDatabase(Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
        var context = new TestContext(builder.Options);

        context.Persons.Add(new Person { FirstName = "John", LastName = "Doe" });
        context.SaveChanges();

        // How can I express this selecting columns with a set of strings? 
        IQueryable<Person> query = from p in context.Persons select new Person { FirstName = p.FirstName };
    }
}

I would like to have something like this method:

static IQueryable<Person> GetPersons(TestContext context, params string[] fieldsToSelect) {
    // ...
}

Is there a way I can do this?
