That's just rather ugly.

What I did here is to send a RequestObjectPropertiesFamily message, then
parse the reply. Only problem with that is that there can be only one
handler per message, and the selection manager already takes it. This
can be solved by writing a little function that calls both the selection
manager and my code, and using that as the handler instead.

This is easy enough, should have no race condition, and doesn't rely on
strange things like tricking the selection manager into requesting what
you need.
