How do I customize the User relationship dropdown in collections?

I have a collection where I added a relationship field to user. The dropdown shows the user's full name only, and I would like to modify that dropdown to instead be "Full Name ( email )". Is there a supported path to make this change?



For now, I've just updated the 

admin.useAsTitle

to 

email

. It'd be nice if I could use multiple fields in a specific format: 

'{ name } - { email }'

    The most common way to do this is to create a hidden field that contains the

    useAsTitle

    value you want to display, and populate it with a hook (

    beforeRead

    or

    afterChange

    ).
