Your question in not stupid at all and it is not at all simple.
In fact, it is impossible:

  ZPublisher and "dtml-var" call objects in very different ways
  (although you may not always see the differences).

You may have a look at my "Dispatcher" product at

  <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope>

It tries to do something similar than you want.
Due to the problems mentioned, it is not perfect and I am not
completely satisfied with it.
