Hello Admin
Not having alot of time to play with, I was able to resolve this issue quickly by adding ORM functionality to the addSelect routine (see below). I don't know if you would consider looking at whats possible in the near future, but would love to see this limitation resolved so decided to share my 10min approach.
Best regards

$model->addSelect(array(
'userid.name'
