Behaviors mainly deal with scripts and message paths. The engine
includes the behavior button's stack as part of the regular search path
when looking for IDs, but as I understand it, other objects themselves
aren't part of behaviors. So you'd need to provide the same sort of path
for other object references as we always have.
While I guess it isn't entirely accurate, I still think of behaviors as
sort of a private backscript.
