hi,
forcing a tot into spying on that would be extremely tricky, unless there is a specialized functionality built into the poor thing.
I do not know yet how to design a generic feature, but, since it really is quite a tot-like feature, esp. in a ``Pd for presentation'' context, have added a few dot-tilde patterns: ".~tag", ".~owner", and ".~root", which, at least, work for abstraction (or [pd]) boxes. Just tested this:
query .~owner.c coords .~tag tot .~owner.c itemconfig .~tagR -width 5 -fill red
will try to gather all the new toxy stuff for a release, soon...

you can use toxy to listen to the editing messages to and keep track of where objects you care about are. not saying it would be easy, but indeed it is possible. -josh

my nead is that the abstraction (or object) should know it's position even it it's moved with the mouse.
