You can either use the . member access operator:

$ID = (Call-ThatReturnsObject).ID

Or Select-Object -ExpandProperty:

$ID = Call-ThatReturnsObject |Select-Object -ExpandProperty ID

Or ForEach-Object:

$ID = Call-ThatReturnsObject |ForEach-Object -MemberName ID
# or 
$ID = Call-ThatReturnsObject |ForEach-Object { $_.ID }
