Glad to help.

Well, if you want the namespace of the Cataloged object and you are in the
Catalog folder then you have to either have a meta_table for the
information, or use a with tag like this:

<dtml-in "Catalog(myProperty='whatever')">
 <dtml-with "resolve_url(getpath(data_record_id_),REQUEST)">
  <dtml-var anypropertyIdamnWellpleasefromMyInstance>
 </dtml-with>
</dtml-in>

That's useful in reports so that you don't have to have meta_tables for
everything under the sun.
