getRawRelatedItems

Hey Gang,
     The Related Items field in Plone 2.1 creates a KeywordIndex that  
contains a list of hash-y looking strings that represent the  
referenced objects.
     I'm working on a AT-based content type (a kind-of simple portlet  
manager). My users write TTW content for a portlet, then use a  
RelatedBrowserWidget to choose where in the site the portlet should  
go. I've added a KeywordIndex to the RelatedBrowserWidget field  
(which I call Placement), so now I have a getRawPlacement index in my  
catalog that has those same hash strings.
     Now I've written a portlet that shows up on every page. It looks  
in the catalog for any of my users' portlet-oids that should appear  
on the current page. I'd like to write a query that only returns the  
items that match the current context, and barring that, I'd like to  
be able to find matches from brains' getRawPlacement without having  
to wake up all the objects.
     So. Does anybody know where those strings come from? Can I do  
something with 'context' to see if it corresponds to one of the  
strings in my getRawPlacement index?
