    No, the Elektron WebSocket API will not automatically expand the underlying chains for application. A
    chain request will return the contents of the underlying link FIDs that
    can be used within your applications to issue the necessary underlying RICs requests as
    needed.

    For more details regarding decoding Chains, I suggest you check Decoding Chains - Part 1 article which can be applied to the WebSocket API too.
