Yea- see that's exactly my question, how do I construct a query that 
will give me like "the second content object down on the list in the 
left column"?  I was looking at the tt_content table in the database, 
and I can't see how I could do it.  I actually wish there was just 
like an arbitrary field in the typo3 back end like "label" and I 
could label a content item in whatever way I wanted and construct the 
query like "where label='myidentifier' ".  I could hijack one of the 
existing fields in there and use it for that purpose, but then the 
label will show up on the page.  (Plus that's kind of a hack...)  I 
figured there has to be an established way of doing this.
