You can still create a virtual full_slug field, just use concat() to
concatenate the parent slug, a slash, and the slug.
Or, since all of your data should already be set in the view anyway,
just create a helper that accepts Item data in the form of:
array(
'Item' => array(
'field1' => 'val1',
'field2' => 'val2',
...
'slug' => 'slug value'
),
'ParentItem' => array(
...
'slug' => 'parent slug value'
)
)
and outputs a correctly formatted link.
