Comment (by priyanshuhaldar):

 There is a workaround for this. You can add the sub-menu block and then
 add text for the primary menu item and link it to the parent category
 manually. Then, in the sub-menu item, add the category link block and link
 the child category there.

 Though I'm working on a feature to add a sidebar control for the category
 link block to choose to display the child categories. Will be sharing an
 update here.
