>            Priority: Minor

> Currently, when connecting a link to a zone, you bind the zone parameter of the link to the client-side id of the Zone.
> To do this, you must know the client-side id of the Zone.
> It would be nice if the zone value could be evaluated on the client and make use of the rendered DOM to simplify this.
> I thought the special string "^" could mean "the containing Zone", and could be located via the "t-zone" CSS class that Zones normally have.
> An extended form could be "^.foo" to find an enclosing element with CSS class foo and assume that is the zone (this would help when dealing with nested zones).
> The exact syntax is up for debate but the idea is that the connection could be made on the client-side without having to deal with the (relative) intricacies of either assigning a zone id explicitly, or reading the Zone's id.
