Hi, I currently have a table which serves as a central link table for many-many relations between several other tables. These relationships are defined generically like this:

    public function linked($moduleClass)
    {
        $instance = new $moduleClass;
        
        return $this
            ->belongsToMany($moduleClass, 'linkster', $this->linksterKey, $instance->linksterKey);
    }

This works fine for just accessing the collection of linked records, for instance:

Contact::first()->linked('Org')->get();

However, I can't eager load using with(). So, is there a way to either pass in arguments to relations in with(), or better yet, defining a default behavior for undefined relationships? I tried implementing the second option using __call(), but I'm not sure how to properly override it without stepping on Eloquent's __call() method.

Thanks in advance for any help.

edit: I figured out a way to do it but I'll leave this up in case someone has a better way to do it, or if this is the best way to do it then it's up here if anyone is looking to do something similar.

    // probably not the exact implementation I'll use, but this is the idea.
    protected $modules = ['orgs','contacts'];
    
    public function __call($name, $args)
    {
        if (in_array($name, $this->modules)) {
            return $this->linked(studly_case(str_singular($name)));
        }
        
        return parent::__call($name, $args);
    }
