That won't work because it only returns the string we created,
'images.hd.mysection' which is not a path.

We are trying to create a method where we can dynamicly display an image
based on the folder the page exists in. The images are named according to
their location within the website;

hd = top level
section = sublevel

ideally;
top level
  images
  mysection
     would have an image of 'hdmysection'
  yoursection
     would have an image of 'hdyoursection'

I want a tag I can put in any page and display the correct image without
having to create a new unique property in all 2000 pages/ 200 folders.

<dtml-var myimage>

I can create to string that matches the id of the image
'images.hdmysection' but i cannot get Zope to go and fetch that object.

Did I explain that properly?
