Thanks for the details.

The global doSomething(); I have used because I had no idea how to pass 
the 'this' pointer.
Using the global doSomething();  is a similar approach as you describe 
(I store the 'this' in a global
variable and use it later in doSomething();.

Is it possible to pass some hash code of 'this' to 
doSomething(hashValue);  (or to your static method)
and find the 'this' later by using this hashValue; Is there a lookup 
built into qooxdoo to
search for a 'this' by having its 'hashValue' or similar?

Thanks
Marcel
