autoref with subfiles in TexStudio

Question

I am using TexStudio with the subfiles package to split my project into smaller pieces, with the advantage that I can compile a subfile indepentent of the main stuff.
Now using the autoref command of the hyperref package I would like to have auto completion for the labels when working in a subfile, but TexStudio does not give me a list of labels in the other documents.

One way out that I know is to use a %!TEX root = main.tex at the beginning of a subfile, but then maint.tex will always be executed, making the subfiles package useless.

Any ideas how to use autoref across different subfiles?

Instead of using subfiles you could use the include statement 
This way you'll compile only the modified files. That should allow you to use
%!TEX root = main.tex
