There is already an extension that does that, it is even from the
tt_news author (Rupi):

	news_author_rel - "extends tt_news by the possibility to relate the
author from any table."

It comes with pre-sets for linking to tt_address, be_users or fe_users,
just choose it in the Ext.Manager after installing. Works like a charm!
