573578548,MDU6SXNzdWU1NzM1Nzg1NDg=,89,Ability to customize columns used by extracts= feature,9599,open,0,,,3,2020-03-01T16:54:48Z,2020-10-16T19:17:50Z,,OWNER,,"@simonw any thoughts on allow extracts to specify the lookup column name? If I'm understanding the documentation right, `.lookup()` allows you to define the ""value"" column (the documentation uses name), but when you use `extracts` keyword as part of `.insert()`, `.upsert()` etc. the lookup must be done against a column named ""value"". I have an existing lookup table that I've populated with columns ""id"" and ""name"" as opposed to ""id"" and ""value"", and seems I can't use `extracts=`, unless I'm missing something...

Initial thought on how to do this would be to allow the dictionary value to be a tuple of table name column pair... so:
```
table = db.table(""trees"", extracts={""species_id"": (""Species"", ""name""})
```

I haven't dug too much into the existing code yet, but does this make sense? Worth doing?
