Grid DetailRow only if property exists

Question

When I use the following code to enable the detail template, it works but I would like to only show a detail template if a specific property (Category) exists. Currently it renders an expand icon if there is no detail template content. The problem is that I cannot use an *ngIf directive on the template element itself as I don't have access to the property.

<template kendoDetailTemplate let-dataItem>
          <section *ngIf="dataItem.Category">
            <header>{{dataItem.Category?.CategoryName}}</header>
            <article>{{dataItem.Category?.Description}}</article>
          </section>
</template>
