@archansel Hi, did you find any example? I also trying to find one.

[archansel]

Nope I end up doing it manually to get the result I want

column name: contextId and contextType

@BelongsTo(() => Model1, 'contextId')
  model1: Model1;

  @BelongsTo(() => Model2, 'contextId')
  model2: Model2;

@Column(DataType.VIRTUAL)
  get title(): string {
    switch (this.contextType) {
      case Model1.name:
        return this.model1.title;
      case Model2.name:
        return this.model2.name;
      default:
        return null;
    }
  }
