Yes, we have such a mechanism here. I'm hoping to have a proposal and
some code for all to see by the end of the week.

Basically, I put hooks in the Workflow Tool and introduce the concept of
an object who is a Workflow Manager, that is, a container that can take
workflow-related decisions on behalf of its children.

This can give quite nicely a "compound object" that behaves as one in
the workflow. It can also lead to much more complex behaviour if one
wants.

Stay tuned :-)
