The problem with this is that if I use the channel ID as the key, the 
target channel does not know the parent channel, and therefore does not 
know what key to use.

Internally, the channels obviously know how they are linked, but I 
wanted to achieve this without having to write app_GetChanData - 
although that sounds quite interesting now ... :)
