Is it possible to access custom filed of reference type for the built-in customized object?

I have added a lookup field for the Account built-in object (Setup -> App Seup -> Customize -> Accounts -> Fields). This is a reference to another object.
 
Can I access (retrieve) this field by SF API? I'm trying to use sforce Explorer, but it does not show my field in the list of fields.
The error is also produced when I enter the query manually ("No such column...").
 
Is it possible or some kind of limitations (not realized yet)?

you can access this field using the 7.0 API endpoint, the 6.0 version does not return this.  the sforce explorer is probably defaulting to 6.0

you can change the default using one of the menus i believe.
