I had a very similar problem. I created my own ResultSet class,
overriding new_result() and create(). The new_result() method calls
$self->result_source->result_class->new(@_) and sets the new object's
resultsource to $self->result_source. Create() simply returns
$self->new_result(@_)->insert().

Then, I overrode new() and insert() in my Schema classes, catching the
extra args and dealing with them manually.

Hope that helps... I can post some example code later if you want, I
have a meeting to go to or I would now.
