[Zope] Form parsing question - buttons and operand context

Greetings,
I'm working on a Zope product that will render a table of items I'd like
the user to be able to commit actions upon. The table would look
similar to this:
Item A | Edit (submit) | Delete (submit)
Item B | Edit (submit) | Delete (submit)
I'd like the "edit" and "delete" to be buttons. I've seen examples in
which a method can be called from a form's submission button, e.g.
<input type=submit name="deleteObject:method" value="Delete">
I'd like to pass the operand to the form submission handler, but I know
of no way to do this. My preferred method would be something like this:
<input type=submit name="deleteObject('A'):method" value="Delete">
<input type=submit name="deleteObject('B'):method" value="Delete">
Any ideas on how to make this work? I know there are workarounds, but
the alternatives make for a sub-optimal user interface.
Thanks,
