Steps to reproduce

I am attempting to add a NoteProperty to a reference type property of an object, then convert that entire object to JSON using the ConvertTo-Json cmdlet. While this works fine when adding a NoteProperty to a top level object, if you do this to an object that's a property of the top-level object, the NoteProperty is not handled by the cmdlet:

`$foo = Get-ADUser "someUser"

$foo.SID | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name "bar" -Value "barValue" -Force

$foo | ConvertTo-Json`

Expected behavior

Cmdlet should output:

{
  ...
  "SID": {
    "BinaryLength": 28,
    "AccountDomainSid": {
      "BinaryLength": 24,
      "AccountDomainSid": [redacted],
      "Value": [redacted]
    },
    "Value": [redacted],
    "bar": "barValue"
  },
  ...
}

Actual behavior

Output does not include additional property:

{
  ...
  "SID": {
    "BinaryLength": 28,
    "AccountDomainSid": {
      "BinaryLength": 24,
      "AccountDomainSid": [redacted],
      "Value": [redacted]
    },
    "Value": [redacted]
  },
  ...
}
