Lookup in every macro page. Then a macro is registred as
a view an theres no way to have to macros with the same name.
So the Macros class can try till it's finds the macro in the 
mapping like:

class Macros(object):
    implements(IItemMapping)

    macro_pages = ()    
    aliases = {
        'view': 'page',
        'dialog': 'page',
        'addingdialog': 'page'
        }

    def __getitem__(self, key):
        key = self.aliases.get(key, key)
        context = self.context
        request = self.request
        for name in self.macro_pages:
            page = getView(context, name, request)
            try:
                v = page[key]
            except KeyError:
                pass
            else:
                return v
        raise KeyError, key
