I can get a dictionary of object properties using -
[[[self getCTX] propertyManager] propertiesForGlobalID:eo];
- in which case the property name as in
"{http://www.opengroupware.org/properties/ext-attr}Color" is the key and
the value is the value (as in "Blue").

However I would very much like to have the object property id (the
obj_property_id column of obj_property) and the "preferredType" (the
preferred_type column in obj_property).  I see these attributes dealt
with in the propertyManager (SkyObjectPropertyManager.m) but no way to
get them.

The property id would provide a unique numeric id making it very easy to
automatically map the data into a client-side database cache;  I've been
able to provide a numeric objectId for everything else in ZOGI.

The preferredType would be necessary for client applications to
determine how to display/manage the property value.  Otherwise it is
impossible to tell a string from a BLOB encoded as a string, for
instance.
