Someone else already suggested to put the class into a "jar" archive.
Do that if you can.

If not and you are using Zope 2.3, then you can look at
PythonScript. It allows you to intercept subpaths,
analyse them and do something sensefull with them.
In your case, they could translate '$' into '_' and access
the object in a nearby folder.
