I do not expect that you let your form store the object
but the corresponding form action.

But otherwise, this is okay.

This is impossible.

When you want to store the object somewhere, you must know where...

"restrictedTraverse" may help you to locate the object
(--> embedded Zope Help System --> Zope Help --> API Reference
--> ObjectManagerItem).

The same seems a bit strange.

I still think, its the action and not the form....

I do not yet feel confident...
