This, I think, is because in HEAD, the Layout Managers are responsible for
adding the Areas based on the FOBjs that were used to create them.

AFAICT, the LM doesn't provide a way to allow other objects to talk to its
FObj directly. For instance, there is a setFObj() method, but no getFObj()
that returns it (--and, come to think of it, this shouldn't be necessary)
IIC, then it should be possible to trace it up to the point where the Area
gets added to the AreaTree by the LM ( addArea() or addChild() ) Maybe you
can insert a few steps there to pass the FONode / FObj id to the Area.
Hope this offers a bit of help
Cheers,
