How to Create or look up existing object

[TG]

A (simple?) GOOP Q for anyone who knows this

I wish to create AN object with Endevo GOOP3 toolkit and then later on

create it again without having to check if it already exists so that I can get at the reference in another part of the program.

The Goop3 create method seems to indicate that this is possible since it has 3 choices.

1) Create

2) Create or look up existing

3) Look up existing

I wish to use 2)

Problem is I cannot figure out a way to tell that the ref already exists. I can see it when I use the objects in memory tool

but that is as far as I can get with it for now.

IS there a way to tell that the reference already exists in GOOP and can it be tested in the create Method that Goop3 makes?

I hope that was clear enough..

Thanks in advance for any replies.
