Gotcha, hadn't considered the lookup use case.
It's my impression Microsoft is indicating that we will eventually have a way of linking Group sites together (more on that here), so that may provide a way for your use case to work through Group sites, I'm not sure though. I'm also not certain that site collections as we know them will be included in the "hub" structure.
