restrictedTraverse has no such feature.

You could also item access rather than attribute access.
This does not use acquisition. e.g.:

try:
    context.wg['projects']['abc']

That works, as long as you don't mind wasting the cycles to 
look at every object in foo :-)
but even in that case I would use objectIds() instead of objectItems().
