I guess we are talking about the "classical" BE (not extbase/fluid)?
If so then this is a pure matter of $TCA.

In $TCA for inline there is a setting 'foreign_selector', which IMO can
possibly achieve what you aim for.

example...

'config' => array(
  'type' => 'inline',
  'foreign_table' => 'tx_foobar_domain_model_foo',
  'foreign_field' => 'fieldxyz',
  'foreign_selector' => 'fieldabc',
  'maxitems'      => 5,
  'appearance' => array(
    'useCombination' => 1,
    'collapseAll' => 1,
    'levelLinksPosition' => 'bottom',
    'newRecordLinkAddTitle' => 1,
   ),
 ),

Greets and hth,
Peter
