create foreign key-ish relationship between synth namespaces

[dan-schofer]

Hi there, I have a situation where I want to generate uuids on an object in namespace A collection user.

I then want to be able to reference those values in namespace B collection user_info to make sure B.user_info.user_uuid is unique and matches a real value in A.user.uuid

Is it possible to create this relationship with the same_as type and ref property?

An alternative approach I see is to supply both UUID generators from a datasource (json file is fine) so I can control the UUID values closely, but as the db column types are uuid that can't be done without casting from the strings in the json file. Is there a way to configure a cast on the datasource type? Or even provide a parameter to the string type when its configured as uuid (I like that less than casting from datasource, but hey)

I know its a bit unorthodox, but wanted to raise the questions anyway as I think they might have some value. Thanks for reading!
