Then a new separate object database would have to be created.
This is the part I really don't like about separate object databases,
but perhaps some persistent alternates information could help here.

For any other way to separate the odb (project id, whatever), we
can't get a list of references into it by a path-limited traversal
in the parent. Thus separate odbs which are not bound to a special
location have some serious downsides.

Sorry, I don't understand you here.
