Differing object specifiers

I'm implementing the objectSpecifier methods on my scriptable objects in a Cocoa app, and there doesn't seem to be any way to return different object specifiers for different "paths" that get taken to the object.

For example, with the Finder, you can run the following scripts with different result:

tell application "Finder" to get file "foo.txt"
result: document file "foo.txt" of desktop of application "Finder"

tell application "Finder" to get file "foo.txt" of folder "Users:bwebster:Desktop:"
result: document file "foo.txt" of folder "Desktop" of folder "bwebster" of folder "Users" of disk "Mac OS X" of application "Finder"

Is there anywhere to hook into the Cocoa scripting system that would let me have a similar behavior with my application?
