[ROOT] Can one load select branches from non-split mode?

Hello,

I have an object with the following data members:

1. TString *Name -- this uniquely identifies the event. An alphanumeric name 
in my case is better than just an integer identifier.

2. TClonesArray *Array -- large set of data for the event

I want to create a Tree in which I can search for a particular name and then 
load the TClonesArray for that event.

As I understand, a TString cannot be stored properly in split mode.  But I 
don't want to read the entire object when all I want to do is check the name 
to see if it is the event of interest.  Is it possible to load only select 
branches when an object has been stored in non-split mode? Is there another 
way that this is generally implemented?

Thanks,
Steve
