Is there a way to tell Hibernate to put an extra column in for a many-to-one relationship to tell it exactly what table to query for the associated object? We are using a table-per-concrete-class table structure in our database and I have an entity class that has a many-to-one relationship with a class high up in the inheritance tree. I don't want hibernate to try to query all of the tables that could possibly contain one of those types. I want it to go to the right table immediately when I try to traverse the relationship. Basically what I want is for it to do what it does when you use an <any> mapping. Does this make sense?

Hibernate version: 3.2.1ga
