Add an edit field from a referenced node to Node Add/Edit Form?

Hello. I have a functionality in mind, but I'm not sure panels can do it. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Here is my use case:

There are two node types: Projects and Customers.

The Customer is NodeReferenced in the Project Type.
Customer has a field called "Remote access". Using panels, I have the "Remote Access" field from referenced customer displaying on the node page for the Project. This is simple enough.

What i'd like to do is find a way to make the Remote Access field easily editable from the Project Node page. Is it possible to Add the "remote access" field from the referenced Customer node to the Add/Edit Form for the Project node being viewed?

This way when a change to the "remote access" filed comes up, users can enter it with other project information instead of having to browse to the Customer node first.

In abstract terms: I am using a panel to display a node of a particular type. The panel is currently displaying a field from a referenced node. Is it possible to have the field from the referenced node editable in the Edit form for the node being viewed?

Many thanks.
