[removed zodb-dev, don't cross post!] If you are using plain catalogs then you need to store the path to the object somewhere (as metadata or as Zope does as the uid of the catalog record). Then traverse to it based on this path. In Zope you use (restrictedTraverse (or unrestrictedTraverse) to do this). You might need to roll your own traverser, but it shouldn't be too hard.
