Thanks for the hint.
It can solve the issue.
But what I would expect from SMW (a kind of natural functionality) is being
able to work with semantic properties of any given article in PHP code. This
would mean in particular (as a basic level) having access to the props of
the currently displayed article (any revision).
Why I find this functionality natural? SMW extends articles with semantic
properties. So, for an object representing article there should be methods
available for dealing with its semantic properties. So, it's natural just
from the point of view of OO.
I think implementing this mechanism would open many new applications of SMW.
With best regards,
Petr
