You can wrap the call in another dtml-with.
<dtml-with my_desired_folder>
<dtml-with "manage_addProducts('Your_product')">
<dtml-call "ZClass_name.ZClass_name_add(_.None,_)">
</dtml-with>
</dtml-with>
That is assuming that my_desired_folder is aquirable(?) You may
need multiple -with's. Also using dotted syntax may work so that
you can use a single -with, i.e. <dtml-with
outer_folder.my_desired_folder>. I haven't tried this and I'm
sure one of the gurus here will let us know if this would work.
The other situation I ran into was when creating multiple nested
folders was that I only had the id of my_desired_folder as a
string so I had to use <dtml-with "_.getitem(id)">.
