I think, you misunderstood the primary part: in this proposal record fields
are accessed not with functions, but more like fields in OO languages. So
the problem of function sharing does not exist as such. E.g.:

namesOfPersonAndImage :: Person -> Image -> String
namesOfPersonAndImage person image = person.name ++ ", " ++ show image.name
