OK just thinking out loud (on the keyboard, as it were) here: To solve the specific problem I had, there should be a built-in way to "flatten" an object, by not displaying nested entities, but by chasing all foreign key relations to the end, and just displaying the end results of that.
But I'd rather have a way of extending the autogenerated datacontext, that seems much more general and powerful to me ...
