limit choices for foreign field based on other field

Is it possible to do really dynamic form in AdminModel? I have following models:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    firstfield=models.ForeignKey(First)
    secondField= models.ForeignKey(Second, blank=True,null=True)
    #some other fields

class Second(models.Model):
    firstfield=models.ForeignKey(First)
    #other fields

As you can see Second is optional. But I want it to limit according to current selection in First? It would require some page refreshing or some ajax work but I simply don't know how to even pass First value. Maybe I should add it to request and then use something similar to: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.formfield_for_foreignkey ?

You can do it through ajax request. If you don't know how it works see the below links.
