As you noticed, "tree" does not support such a variable.
Your options:

  1.  Enhance the "tree" code to give it this new variable

  2.  Most Zope objects have a "this()" method which returns
      the object. If the objects in your list are Zope
      objects, then you can use "this()".
      Otherwise, you may enhance the objects in your list
      by a "this()" method.
