without an additional component/plugin
I would write a routine to extract the object, then no matter how deep
or how your current configuration changes you can extract it.
I have only thought about this for a few moments but...
something like:
Get_object(Source_Object;Property) -> object
Get object properties with types
if the object/property desired is not at the first level
for every object
Get_Object(ob get(Source_Object;Next_Object);Property)
else
$0:=ob Get(Source_Object;Property)
end if
