Perhaps we're trying to answer the wrong question.
There should be a pretty easy solution to this using regions, it's
part of their purpose. What you really want to do is add a new child
to the end of the list in the "child-list" region when you create a
new one from the "child-add" region. I just added a recipe to the
cookbook covering that a few days ago.
if you place the "child-add" region inside of "child-list" and add a
<div class="list"> wrapping the list of children, you can do this:
<%
Jifty->web->form->submit(
label => 'Submit',
onclick => [
{ submit => $action },
{ refresh_self => 1 },
{ element =>
Jifty->web->current_region->parent->get_element(
'div.list'),
append => $self->fragment_for('view'),
args => {
id => { result_of => $action, name => 'id' },
},
},
]
)
%>
You don't need to pass $parent again because it will remain the same,
but you could pass it if you want.
See Jifty::Manual::Cookbook from the trunk of SVN for the recipe.

so there is no way without using the dispatcher to pass an argument from
one template to another directly? i've got other page regions that
receive the exact same parameter (by building a link()) which is used to
limit() a collection and that works without a hitch.

i'll give it another go. i'm about ready to propose (and pay out) a
bounty on a realistic tutorial.
