Thanks for your answer, here the final approach: <dtml-var "_[getPhysicalPath()[-1]].show()"> where show() is the method to call in the calling object.

Pass along the object's physical path in a query string to the view method, e.g.:

<a href="view?cameFrom=/foo/bar/fob">

this might look something like (untested):

<a href="view?cameFrom=<dtml-var getPhysicalPath url_quote>>

The resolve the "cameFrom" string into an object into an object using restrictedTraverse in the view method.

Is there a way to know who did call index_html ?

I have a product that has a view option. If this option is used I want to have the "next" index_html to call a method on the object from which the call originated.

thanks for your tips

Robert
