Maybe it is a duplicate, but I haven't find an issue like this nor an easy solution... :o(

It would be nice if the user could set in node reference which fields of the referenced node she would display in the referring node. Now our options are limited to title (with or without link) or teaser or full node.

There are soulutions to solve this problem, but they are not simple: theming, coding (computed field), Node Reference Formatters module - looks to be nice, but you should theme to have the desired fields displayed, Field reference module (D5 only), Node reference views module (why we shoul load views?) etc.

The user friendly simple solution would be IMHO: one can choose a display option: "custom" and then select the desired field(s) with simple ceckboxes.

Is there any way to support this?

Then you'd want to have them in a given order and with given display settings : that's what Views does and we're not duplicating this.
The Views_attach module lets you attach the output of a view as a pseudo-field, and should fit your needs.

Thanks for the tip about Views attach. It seems to be a nice tool, but works in a reverse way what I need.

So 'cause you say views is "the tool", maybe it worth to try the Node reference views module too.
