Why not use an URL segment to code the session information
and use __before_publishing_traverse__ magic (similar to
VHM) to manage this segment. URLs would look like:

     http://host/S-<session>/path_to_object

This way, both relative URLs and absolute URL would work
and you do not need to fiddle with hidden fields.

We probably would like a way to reference static content
without the session add-in, to improve cachabilitiy.
