You can add your own tag if you want to. Like this:

from django import template
register = template.Library()

@register.simple_tag
def get_obj(pk, attr):
    obj = getattr(A.objects.get(pk=int(pk)), attr)
    return obj

Then load tag in your template

{% load get_obj from your_module %}

and use it

{% get_obj "A_pk" "name" %}
