ReUsing Subreports without Link fields

I've been told more than one that using the Link Child/Master fields on subreports is much less efficent than just using a parm on the underlying query of the subreport. I've found this to be true (especially for more complex subreports) and usually try to use the later query parm method.

So, is there a way to reference a field on a master report from the query in the subreport without having to specify the exact report name e.g. Reports![rptReportA]![PersonID]?

I now want to reuse the same subreport in several master reports using this query parm method.
