Eureka! It's late, I'm tired and grouchy and I can't figure out a way to do this!

I've started (in the last couple of days) getting the long id, then

put the long id of someObject into tLongID
replace " of " with comma in tLongID
set the itemDelimiter to comma
-- turn the file path into a stack name
put item -1 of tLongID into tPath
put the name of tPath into item -1 of tLongiD

and treating this as a set of items.
