RECORD fields by name

In a plpgsql function, is it possible to retrieve values from a RECORD
if the fieldname is not known when writing the function?

I'm writing a trigger function which takes a table name and a field
name as arguments and modifies NEW. The problem is that I can't figure
out how to access NEW.[fieldname], since [fieldname] cannot be a
variable.
