def load_objects
params.match(/id$/).each do |k,v|
the_model_name = (k.to_sym == :id) ? self.class.model_name : k.to_s.gsub(/_id/, '')
instance_variable_set(the_model_name.to_sym.iv, the_model_name.classify.constantize.find(v))
end
rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound
redirect_to root_url
rescue NoMethodError, NameError
nil
end

Been using this for a while. Just set it as a before filter in application controller. It always does the right thing.
