Can I use relationships in a form like this?

I have a table that successfully uses a relationship from another table: Tables\Columns\TextColumn::make('company.company_name'), This displays the company name due to the relation setup in the model. But when I try and replicate this for the form, it doesn't work: Forms\Components\Select::make('company.company_name') ->required() How do I get the select drop down to show the company names? (and write the ID back to the database when editing the records)?

Not sure if there's a better solution but I think I've always manually specified the options in my selects, something like this:

    Select::make('manufacturer_id')
        ->label(__('Manufacturer'))
        ->options(
            Manufacturer::whereType(ManufacturerType::TIRE)
                ->orderBy('name', 'asc')
                ->pluck('name', 'id')
        )

    Select::make('manufacturer_id')
        ->label(__('Manufacturer'))
        ->options(
            Manufacturer::whereType(ManufacturerType::TIRE)
                ->orderBy('name', 'asc')
                ->pluck('name', 'id')
        )
