retrieve related records using backbone

Question

I see that it's possible to retrieve a record's related records using the rest api:

app.api.call('getRelatedRecord', '/rest/v10/:module/:recordId/link/:relatedModule/', callbacks);

Is it possible to accomplish this with the record's Backbone model itself?

Yes, you can use this.model.getRelatedCollection() to do that.

Here is a slight variation on its use:

For your needs, "user" would be replaced by "this.model" and you wouldn't need to instantiate it as I did with "user" in that snippet.
