Object Id's

["Mitchell, Sue" <Sue.Mitchell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am building a tool that will go through all the files in a given book and
test for various inconsistencies or errors that our production server will
not allow.  I want to generate a report with links to the specific errors -
very similar to what happens when you add a List of References but much more
detailed and specific for our needs.  I can do this no problem but there is
one part that I need to hard code in and was wondering if anyone could shed
some light on the problem.  If you look at a LOR and the text of the marker
you see code similar to the following: openObjectId Chapter.fm:3 1242822 It
is very easy to get the filename and the object ID that I want to link to
but it is the 3 that I am wondering about. It seems to indicate the type of
object that you are linking to, for instance a cross reference is 3, a text
inset is 6 and a graphic is 4.  Somewhere someplace there must be
information on how to get the number associated with a given object but I
have not had much luck locating it in the FDK. I am hard coding the value
that I need in but it would be better to be able to get the value
programmatically.

Any ideas?  Thank you in advance.
