Description

Since Workbench rewrites the object id of the top level object it's not possible to reference it somewhere else in the UI

Research direction

Start by reproducing the top-level object reference failure in Workbench's UI and trace where its object ID is rewritten. Use the linked Matrix discussion for context; done means the top-level object can be referenced elsewhere in the UI without its identity being changed.
