Q: 

Is it possible to use django-admin's "raw_id_fields" for a field other than 'id'?

If you have tens of thousands of objects, raw_id_fields is necessary. But knowing the ID of any specific object is not realistic. However most people would be able to remember the keywords of an object's slug, or in my case, maybe a unique 'sku number'. Is there a way to make 'raw_id_fields' search by sku or slug?
