You could just create a unique method in ie. the manager class and call 
it something like "getmanager()" which returns self. It's a trick I have 
used once in a while.

def getmanager():
     return context.this()

Hmmm i usually only work in Python products so this is probably a little 
off.

then you just call getmanager() on the object from the Catalog and 
aquisition takes care of the rest.
