Browsing through the code I stumbled across the possibility to use a custom proxy.

In the model you create two getters. One that accesses the proxy in the standard way, which means
loading the object. The other getter - eg getRawFoobar() - will ask the proxy for the raw uid. In
FLUID you can access it as rawFoobar because FLUID cares about methods starting with "get" not about
real properties.
