Please share any solutions that you find. I see, for example, that if I 
take a text object from a cell, that this supports cell properties and 
provides the cell name, but, it does not provide a link to the 
containing text table. If I create a text cursor from a text object, 
however, that provides access to the TextTable property.

 From the text table, you can grab the anchor. My testing stopped there 
when I managed to crash OOo.

Off hand, I expect that you should be able to walk backwards until you 
finally found the text object  for the document. I suppose that it 
should be mostly obvious how to check for an intersecting text object as 
it were (as in, where in the tree do they meet).
