Display Entity Reference field twice, with different display modes

Question

I have a content type (Type A) that has an Entity Reference field to another content type (Type B).

Type B has 3 fields and 2 display modes. Display A shows two of the fields, Display B shows the other field.

In the display settings for Type A, the display mode for the Type B entity is set to Display 1.

On the template for Type A, I can use {{ content.field_type_b }} and the two fields are shown.

Now, I want to be able to output the field again, but as Display 2, in a different part of the template.

In a pseudo twig code way, I'd imagine something like {{ content.field_type_b|display_mode('display_2') }}

I have heard suggestions for Display Suite, but I tried this and it seems whilst you can clone a field, there is no option to render it as an entity with a display mode.

I also found Twig Tweak, which I think might work, however, the documentation is beyond terrible and I cannot see how I'd actually use it (the cheat sheet lacks all manner of help).

If this is not possible in Twig, could this be achieved in a hook? Bearing in mind, the field I want to render in Display 2, is a nicely rendered map, so I don't want to simply get the field value, it has to be using the display mode.
