title: Mongoose joining data
body: <p>If I have an object in my MongoDB that will need to be used EVERYWHERE in my system, so it is in its own collection.  However, I con't quite figure out how to get the data to show up automatically on the other objects it is joined to.<br>
  Here is an example:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>Schema1 = { name: String }  
  Schema2 = { something: String, other_thing: [{schema1_id: String}] }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now what I want is to be able to say <code>var name = mySchema2.name;</code> and get the name of the linked <code>Schema1</code> object.<br>
  I am using Mongoose, Express and Node.js and I have tried using a Mongoose 'virtual' for this, but when I say <code>res.send(myobject);</code> I don't see the virtual property anywhere on the object.  </p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to do this?</p>
