We have all sorts of utility methods in our model classes to fetch
child objects where just calling ->children wasn't exact enough.
On a vaguely related note, in our manager class we have the following
three methods. In particular the first one is incredibly helpful
(although I sometimes get tripped up by forgetting by how ->new->load
needs unique keys).
sub fetch {
my $self = shift;
my $obj = $self->object_class->new(@_);
$obj->load(speculative => 1) ? $obj : undef;
}
sub fetch_or_create {
my $self = shift;
my $obj = $self->object_class->new(@_);
$obj->load(speculative => 1);
$obj;
}
sub create {
shift->object_class->new(@_);
}

This should make it easily call-able from Template Toolkit, too (for
better or worse).
