Can the virtual view inherit from the user? That is, can I convince

more useful to have a real user object.
You can do it if you use a DBMS with RULEs support (like PostgreSQL).
Or you can setup a belongs_to rel (where is_foreign_key_constraint =>
0) to the user and override qw/insert delete update/ row methods in
your view class to do such operations on ->referred_user instead of
$self, like you would do with RULEs on DBMS.
