Add additional model to model hook triggered from link-to

I'm happy that multiple models can be loaded into a route using something like this (although feel free to correct if there's a better way!):

 model: function() {
        var self = this;
        return Ember.RSVP.hash({
            foos: self.store.find('foos'),
            bars: self.store.find('bars'),
        });

However, if the model hook is set by a model being passed by, for example, a link-to helper, how should I add the additional model?

Thanks!

EDIT

So in my case I have a unit and objective, which are related. A unit can have many objectives - although its a one way relationship.

In my units route, I click on a unit which links-to units/unit:ID route. So the unit is set as the model, but I also want all objectives loaded into the model, so that I can select and add these to the unit.

Not everything in your page must be in the route's model. For example, you may have a Route that contains a Unit object. To get a list of all Objective objects, you could add a simple property to your controller:

allObjectives: function() {
    return this.store.find('objective');
}.property()

Your template could then render the model as usual:

<div>Unit name: {{model.name}}</div>
<div>All objectives:
  <ul>
    {{#each objective in allObjectives}}
      <li>{{objective.name}}</li>
    {{/each}}
  </ul>
