The additional field should be related on a relation such as RelatedID.

Whenever you select a record from the portal, this should be done by a
transparent button above the row which first does take the related ID
from the selected record, then does set this related id within the
current record. Thus RelatedID does become valid and your extra info may
be shown.

Addon may be that you select the related field below the transparent
button and won't even notice that you pressed a button first.

Later versions of FMP do offer to perform a script on selecting a
record. Thus you do no longer need the button.
