Relationship data inside getAttribute

I have a one-to-many relationship defined in Laravel:

TheModules has many TheModulesActions and TheModulesActions has one TheModules.

It works well, however I would like to set a custom attribute inside TheModulesActions called url.

To achieve that I need the following code:

  protected $appends = array('url');

  public function getUrlAttribute() {
      $nameURL = SharedMethods::slugify($this->title);
      $url = "#/control/{$module}/{$nameURL}/{$this->id}";
      return $url;
  }

Till now everything works, however $module variable is empty, all I have is $this->moduleID which is linked to TheModules.

I need $this->TheModules()->title but it doesn't work inside my getUrlAttribute method.

Is there any way to access relationship data inside getAttribute?

EDIT

The Relationships in TheModulesActions class are:

  public function TheModule() {
    return $this->belongsTo('App\TheModules');
  }

The Relationships in TheModules class are:

  public function TheActions() {
    return $this->hasMany('App\TheModulesActions', 'moduleID');
  }

Tried $this->TheModules->title:

Gives me this error:

ErrorException in TheModulesActions.php line 15: Trying to get property of non-object

You can it by dropping the parenthesis () on the relation name as:

$this->TheModules->title

When you use parenthesis with relation name then Laravel returns an instance of query builder.
