Is there a good way to pull the client id of a particular component in

know how to figure out the id manually but is would be nice to be able
to do something like this...
<h:someComponent 
onclick="somejavascriptcall('<%=someothercomponent.getClientId()%>')"
/>

Anyone have any ideas how this might work?

A while back I found a component from someone else on jsfcentral.com 
that provides a proxytag for ids. I think it was call javascriptproxy 
but I'm not sure and can't seem to find it at the moment. Basically it 
provides a tag that can retrieve the id and assigns it to a defined 
javascript variable. The nice thing about it, it can be used with 
standard components also. The bad thing: more writing and it isn't as 
nicely integrated as forceid is.
Maybe myfaces could provide some component like this for means of 
providing ids for standard components.
