How do I use field values in an Asset object to conditionally display form sections?

Question

Scenario:

I have a form, to capture data for a request via a Portal.
I have an asset object input field for a Product.
Based on the Product.Type I would like to display a section with relevant input fields.

With the limits on api populated fields, there is no real workaround apart from using assets, but I can't access the fields of the asset?

Am I missing something? This seems like a very basic use case...

Surely there are many people with a requirement to use referenced data, from something as simple as a csv file, in their forms and conditionally display sections?

The asset field work fine, i can select an asset in the form (As long as I am logged in)

What i want is to conditionally display a section:
Based on the value of a field in the selected asset (not based on the selected asset)

Let's use a different example,

Let's say the asset is a computer mouse, and in that mouse object there is a type, that can be wired or wireless. 
Many Mouse asset records will have the same type.
Based on the type I want to conditionally display more fields, which are only relevant to the specific type (wired / wireless)
