By referencing another pipeline in a YAML pipeline's resources all artifacts published by the referenced pipeline get automatically downloaded. I'm not sure how to stop this behavior and download only the needed artifacts. Adding a download task for only the needed artifacts does not stop the initial download of the full set of artifacts.

So what you need is disabling default behavior as
Artifacts are only downloaded automatically in deployment jobs. In a regular build job, you need to explicitly use the download step keyword or Download Pipeline Artifact task.
To stop artifacts from being downloaded automatically, add a download step and set its value to none:
steps:
- download: none
and then add additional step to download specific artifact.
Here is an example:
resources:
pipelines:
- pipeline: MultipleArtifact
project: 'DevOps Manual'
source: 'kmadof.devops-manual (64)'
jobs:
- job: Build
pool:
vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
steps:
- script: echo Hello, world!
displayName: 'Run a one-line script'
- script: |
echo Add other tasks to build, test, and deploy your project.
echo See https://aka.ms/yaml
displayName: 'Run a multi-line script'
# Track deployments on the environment.
- deployment: DeployWeb
displayName: deploy Web App
pool:
vmImage: 'Ubuntu-16.04'
# Creates an environment if it doesn't exist.
environment: 'smarthotel-dev'
strategy:
# Default deployment strategy, more coming...
runOnce:
deploy:
steps:
- download: none
- download: MultipleArtifact
artifact: art-1
- checkout: self
- script: echo my first deployment
