Okay, lets take an example where a lines property contains a list of id's (not
the objects themselves, simply a string representation of the id's).  Then to
get the url and title properties of a given id in the lines property, could I
simply...

<dtml-in my_lines_property>
  <dtml-with expr="getattr(container/context/_.getitem('sequence-item'),
absolute_url)">
    <A HREF="<dtml-var absolute_url>">
  </dtml-with>
  <dtml-with expr="getattr(container/context/_.getitem('sequence-item'),
title)">
    <dtml-var title></A><BR>
  </dtml-with>
</dtml-in>

?  Could it really be that easy?
