Really really really a bad idea.
I'm sure you knew that already, but I want to say it again.
That's really really really a bad idea.

One of the prime tenets of database design is that you shouldn't use 
actual data to link items together. Else you get into maintenance 
nightmares and things fall apart when you get unexpected data, etc.

I hate to say you should rethink the design, but you should probably 
rethink the design.
