I do this a lot, with my own custom add in screens that add objects in
special locations. I have it working like this in a python script::
REQUEST = container.REQUEST
target = context.content.documents # folder to put the document in
### Create a new instance.
new_item = target.manage_addProduct[
'MyProduct'].MyZClass.createInObjectManager(new_id, REQUEST)
## other operations on the new item
new_item.setTitle('Rockabilly Bob')

You'll want to store the path to the object. Making other 'hard' references
to a persistent object in Zope is still a scary proposition.
