Allow charts to have reference field data in them

Adding the ability to access data in reference fields to other collections and adding that data to a chart would be very helpful. For example, a collection called "delivery" has a reference field to a "client" this client has a string "title" field. It would be very useful to be able to add the client's "title" to the chart instead of just their id.
