How to use the lookup field across different site collections:

The question is - is it possible to set a lookup list which is in a site in a different site collection. The answer is - yes, I just created a small POC which demonstrates how this works - still there're some limitations - the site collection containing the lookup list should be in the same content database in which the list with the lookup field is.
