If I get things right:
class Parent(Model):
content_type = ForeignKey('ContentType')
class Child(Model):
parent = ForeignKey(Parent)
object_id = IntegerField()
# The next does not exist and they want it
egfk = ExtendedGenericForeignKey('parent__content_type', 'object_id')
I suspect that this is a little too baroque for django core, and further, it
should be possible to implement in user code. Note that GenericForeignKey
itself is not part of Django core, but a contrib app; there should be no
reason why you cannot do what it does (with the only possible exception being
admin support).
If you try to do that and find that you are missing something, or need to use
undocumented, private APIs, you'll have a very strong case for having those
problems solved.
Of course, if this is not what you had in mind, please correct my
misunderstanding.
HTH,
