You have several choices: 1. Register your customer object as a utility and then do utility lookups. In this case you can reuse code in zope.app.component.vocabulary. 2. You probably have a convention where to find customers, like a "CustomerContainer". You can setup your application to easily look up this container to get the entries. > - how do I connect them to the vocabulary in a way to store a > 'reference' to the object and not, say, only its custName?

Python does not know the difference between references and actual objects. :-) It is smart to handle this itself. So the reference is the object.
