  Precisely. My first hack solves this and I've been using it OK in
 production sites.

  But I didnt like the fact that an object "point of presence" in the
 Zope tree was identical in every instance. That leads to confusion.
  
  My second hack creates a ProxyObject class thus allowing for
 a different metatype and a different icon. This reduces confusion. And
 you can also provide a management tab with links to the "original" object
 "point of presence".

  I tried using Python 2.1 Proxy classes but Acquisition wasnt "proxiable"...
