Aura: Exporting Sub-graph from Neo4j-Aura to local-Neo4j for debugging

Hi, this is super simple for a non-aura setup using the APOC apoc.export.query function however, that's disabled on Neo4j-Aura due to security reasons (from what I read).

What I need to do:

  1. Export data/sub-graph from Neo4j Aura
  2. Import data to local neo4j

Consider the following graph.

I've tried:
match (a {syncLocal: true})-[r *0..1]-(x) return *

and the sub-set of data I get back is following:

╒═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╤════╤═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╕
│"a"                                                            │"r" │"x"                                                            │

├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

The label-data is missing, so this doesn't get me all the information I would need to re-create this locally.

Please advise,

Hi Cory,
It's a bit more than 2 years later. Is this feature available?
Downloading from aura in order to import into neo4j desktop?
