Why use a referenced field? If want to see only that field then trying using a temp/dummy field (non-database). Either that or create 3 blocks. The second block should have the detail field on the master block and the 3rd blk should have the detail fields you want displayed. You shouldn't have any problems making the 2nd block field as not editable so when you insert data you would be commiting on blocks 1 (master) and 3 (detail-detail).
Hopefully I've understood your problem.
