| Yes, thank you!

| just as in my example above I want to be able to call this methods on any File objects from a ZPT like this:
| 
| <ul>
|  <li tal:repeat="elem context/objectValues"
|   <img tal:attributes="src string: ${elem/absolute_url}/genGraph"> plot </img>
|  </li>
| <ul>

In what way doesn't this work? I've certainly used this pattern in my FS
products without problems.

| 'self' inside the a Zope product is the _same_ as 'context' or 'here' within
| ZPT or PythonScripts.

It IS in the context of that object. However, if you call a method that is
acquired, self in that method is the acquired object, not the acquiring object.
