How do I hide "No." field and show "Name" instead while keeping the system default lookup?

Hello there,

I have extended the Job table with a 1 to many relationship like this:

tableextension 50071 JobExt extends Job
{
    fields
    {
        field(50041; "FooNo."; Integer)
        {
            TableRelation = Foo."No.";
            Caption = 'bla bla';
            ValidateTableRelation = true;
        }
    }
}

pageextension 50171 JobCardExt extends "Job Card"
{
    layout
    {
        addlast(General)
        {
            field("FooNo."; "FooNo.")
            {
                ApplicationArea = All;
                ToolTip = 'bla bla';
            }
        }
    }
}

This creates a field in the page that contains the FooNo. value, if i click on it the system default dropdown appears and I can change the value (not sure if "system default dropdown" is the correct name)

What I need to achieve is to keep this dropdown and display the Foo.Name field instead of the No. field

Is there a way of achieving this without adding Name as a pk in Foo?

Thanks in advance
