You could do this:

Meteor.publish("tasks", function() {

    var transform = function(task) {
        var project = Projects.findOne({_id: task.projectId});
        task.projectTitle = project.title;
        return task;
    }

    var self = this;

    var tasks = Tasks.find().observe({
        added: function (document) {
            self.added('tasks', document._id, transform(document));
        },
        changed: function (newDocument, oldDocument) {
            self.changed('tasks', document._id, transform(newDocument));
        },
        removed: function (oldDocument) {
            self.removed('tasks', oldDocument._id);
        }
    });

    self.ready();

    self.onStop(function () {
        tasks.stop();
    });

});

There's a lot of custom logic there, but the 'transform' basically adds the attributes in.
