Ah Sorry I didn’t understood the problem at first. This is indeed an issue worth finding a clever solution.

This Record Model was instantiated by the Vtiger_Record_Model::getInstanceById() call so again you can't really extend the function because it has already been called. The only way is to explicitly call your own custom method in your Record Model is to use MyCustomModule_Record_Model::getInstanceById(). Which is what I am doing for now.
