You can do it in current versions of 1.2 by using a 'with' attribute
in your models it works for me and I gathered the information I needed
mostly from this thread

I have a question for HABTM experts out there. I've got a pretty
standard many:many relationship through a join table, except that I
have an additional column in the join table which I need access to.
Use this as an example:
Tables:
post (id, text)
tag (id, name)
posts_tags (post_id, tag_id, metadata)
So I've got a normal join between posts and tags, and I can easily
enough get a post and its associated tags. What I want to do, though,
is get a post, iterate its tags, and for each tag get both the tag
name and the metadata for its association with the post.
I could do an additional query to get the posts_tags row based on the
post_id and tag_id, but that's one more query and it shouldn't be
necessary, since of course Cake is already getting the join. Anyone
have a clever way of getting at the metadata from the join table?
Thanks very much.
