OK, the example on p139-140 of The Zope Book where a
SmallAnimals/kangarooMouse has the Zoo/Vet/vaccinate script applied to
it solved this one for me.

 <a href="Control_Panel/Products/Course/path/to/MedBio305/Project_addForm>upload</a></td>

works because the last object before the script is the context, in
this case MedBio305
