Dear Ammar,
what I did long time ago using version 0.10.2 was: I downloaded the desired
text star catalogs from ftp server of CDS in Strasbourg (I think it was
cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr, (http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/ftp-index?)). Then
I loaded the text files into MySQL databsse. In the end it was 1GB database
(commands necessary for creation described in changes.txt). If you have
MySQL 5.1-32 installed, all the commands from changes.txt and datap.txt are
repeatable but it takes a lot of time. After I loaded the text files into
MySQL database I ran various scripts and queries and created text outputs
with extension .fab (scripts described in datap.txt). Then I replaced the
contents of the file name.fab in Stellarium user directory with the file
created by a particular query, e.g. ads.fab -> names.fab. Then I restarted
Stellarium and had my local designations I wanted. That was the only way to
create a join between Hip catalog and external data, there was no chance of
join with TYC catalog. There was not and probably is not now a way to
produce a direct join with binary .cat files unless you start heavy C
programming and changing structure of catalog files, not my domain.
To my surprise I found in my archives the generated .fab files, it is 12MB
compressed, if you want I can email that to your address and you can play
with it if you like. I cannot send it here, people would kill me for that.
Cheers,
Pavel

Hmm, I had never seen the unconscious boy next to bright Orion...
Maybe ask for some children artwork? (drawing contest. They should use
paper overlaid on Stellarium printouts. Simple outline figures, linked to
3 known stars, scan, invert colors, configure, done.)
I might be too traditionalist, but
