You really mean, I think, "how do I get a handle on an object knowing 
only its id?"

There are many ways: see ZopeLabs for some examples. Here is one way to 
look up an object in the current context::

elt = context[ObjId]
elt.getFieldValue()

You could also use the catalog or the Archetypes reference service to 
try to look up an object of that id anywhere in the portal.
