You could also add a model and id field, and set the belongsTo conditions in
Photo specifying foreignKey and conditions.

So you add two fields to table photos:

model
record_id

And then on Photo model:

<?php

class Photo extends AppModel
{
        var $name = 'Photo';
        var $belongsTo = array(
                'Person' => array(
                        'foreignKey' => 'record_id',
                        'conditions' => 'Photo.model = \'Person\''
                ),
                'Group' => array(
                        'foreignKey' => 'record_id',
                        'conditions' => 'Photo.model = \'Group\''
                )
        );
}

?>

Imagine a social networking site with people, groups, & photos:
 - Person hasMany Photo
 - Group hasMany Photo
 - Photo belongsTo Person, Group

Then you'd need to do:

photos
 - id
 - person_id
 - group_id
