I think they key piece of knowledge you're missing is that a call like:
$objs = My::Whatever::Manager->get_whatevers(...);
is exactly equivalent to:
$objs = Rose::DB::Object::Manager->get_objects(
object_class => 'My::Whatever', ...);
In other words, all the methods created for you in your *::Manager classes
are trivial wrappers around Rose::DB::Object::Manager's get_objects()
method, but with an object_class parameter value hard-coded. So if you want
to generically query a table, and you know the name of the class of objects
you want the call to return, you can simply call the get_objects() method
directly on the class Rose::DB::Object::Manager (or any subclass of it,
actually) and pass an explicit object_class parameter value.
