[sldev] Getting the creator of an object requesting permissions?

Yes, I'm well aware of the LSL function, but I am interested in doing this
from within the client. Unfortunately, it seems that the client can only
look up creator key information in two circumstances:

1. If the item is in the user's inventory,  or

2. If the client has currently selected an object, which allows it to look
up creator information from the permissions of the item currently selected
through the SelectionManager.

Neither of these methods are really suitable for what I'm trying to do. And
in either case, the client would only get the creator's LLUUID which would
require an asynchronous call to the name cache to look up the corresponding
agent name anyhow. It would be nice if there were an llGetCreator eqiivalent
on the client, though.
