How does xano work for grabbing reference fields in a table?

Answered

I'm used to working with airtable and integromat. Generally if I have another table's reference information that I need, I have to make sure to add in as a lookup field so that I don't need to make two GET requests.


In xano, I noticed with reference fields that it seems to be impossible to add in lookup fields for other referenced tables. How does xano work like this??


Also, for my user field I noticed that both the name and the email are pulled in when referenced. In that case I'm not sure how to match a string to that field if I need to do it.
