I don't remember xdm having a session selection (other than the .xsession 
file). Also, you can choose your desktop environment, it just won't record the 
last one chosen by each user (but only the last one chosen globally).

Anyway, the feature request upstream is: 
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/346

It's currently a post 1.0 goal, with some discussions about whether to use 
~/.dmrc, AccountsService or sssd...

Maybe a patch could move things forward (nudge, nudge).

Happy hacking,
