Get Mapped Object From Alias Object
Is there a way to get a Mapped Object from an Alias Object? I want to get the NodeDescription, but only have an Aliased object to work with.

Okay, I see that. As far as I can tell, once an object has been "Aliased", it's no longer considered part of the "NameMapping" object set but is, instead, part of the "Aliases" object especially when being called from "Aliases."
Can I ask for what purpose you need the NodeDescription for your automation work? As I understand it, this is simply a description for the user to label what something is within the NameMapping screen and, as far as I can tell, serves no real purpose in actual test automation beyond, possibly, logging something to the test log. In which case, since supposedly the Alias is supposed to be a more user friendly description, wouldn't that suit as a logging item?
