I use external apps with same name models (for example it's forum.post and blog.post) and have conflict with related_name, both have

user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="posts")

I writed patch with principle like ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES

I really hate the use of a setting for this (despite the precedent of ABSOLUTE_URL_OVERRIDES, which I don't like either). I do think it's a problem that Django should provide some answer for, so accepting the ticket on that basis. I can't immediately think of a better solution than the setting, but I hope we can think of one.

possible settings are not the best place for this, but this is the most obvious place, if I meet the discrepancy with the code model, I would like to find it in the settings, but not in another application.
