If you have a dig into the auto-generated code you will see that the properties wrap a call to UnitOfWork.Query() so you can use reflection to call this based on a type at runtime.

e.g. Something like:

using (var unitOfWork = context.CreateUnitOfWork)
{
  var entityType = ....;

  var genericQueryMethod = typeof(IUnitOfWork).GetMethod("Query", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public);
  var typedQueryMethod = genericQueryMethod.MakeGenericMethod(entityType);
  typedQueryMethod.Invoke(unitOfWork, null);
}
