I think it *is* possible, actually.
Completion can only be done using a list or a tree structure in the data 
model, but nobody said that that structure can't come from/through a 
proxy. Just be sure that the data you want in your completer ends up in 
the first column. You can use your proxy to filter on any other column 
you want.
