go - Can embedded methods access "parent" fields?

Question

Background

I've done a fair amount of spec reading and code testing and I think the answer is no, but I want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Goal

Basically, I'm trying to create a Active Record style ORM for Go, because I like how readable it is and how abstracted it is from its back end data store. I'd rather write user.Save() than data.Save(user) by embedding common CRUD methods on the user struct.

Example

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)

func main() {
    test := Foo{Bar: &Bar{}, Name: "name"}
    test.Test()
}

type Foo struct {
    *Bar
    Name string
}

func (s *Foo) Method() {
    fmt.Println("Foo.Method()")
}

type Bar struct {
}

func (s *Bar) Test() {
    t := reflect.TypeOf(s)
    v := reflect.ValueOf(s)
    fmt.Printf("model: %+v %+v %+v
", s, t, v)
    fmt.Println(s.Name)
    s.Method()
}

Question

Is there a way to make top-level fields (not sure what the correct term in Go is for these) accessible from embedded methods (eg: s.Name or s.Method()?

Thank you donating your time to a new Gopher.
