Can you search the custom field and look for it to be equal to Tickets.id?  That is, use the text "Tickets.id" instead of some number?  Then when the SQL is formed, it creates something like:
    Select main.* from Tickets main "CF.{Original Ticket}" = Tickets.id
Were you to set it to #456, it would look like:
    Select main.* from Tickets main "CF.{Original Ticket}" = 456

By using the text of a field name for the original ticket id, I think it would match.

[Note: I don't really use it, but am IT support for it here.  Above is based on my guess as to how the search builder page works.]
