Using a relationship on import

[rguttersohn]

Hi there,

Perhaps slightly related to this idea but I am not sure if I am asking the same thing since I am not asking for relationships to be imported.

Is there a way to access a column's relationship when importing?

For example, let's say we have table A pointing to the id of Table B. Rather than having a user know the id of rows in table B, the user could reference the name/slug and then we can convert it the id using the relationship before saving it do the DB.

I know there is mutateBefore method, but I don't see how the relationship can be accessed from within the callback function.

If not, I wonder if that would be a useful feature for the community to add.
