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.

I'm not sure off the top of my head as to the best way to implement it, but you might want to consider using the ODT object to create classes that would act as wrappers around your "special" objects. It seems you already have these items pre-determined as to which ones are special and which ones aren't.
So, just off the top of my head, it could be as simple as creating an ODT Data Group with a variable for each "special" item. You could then use ODT.Data.Group.VariableExists("MyControlAliasName") to find out if it exists in that list. If it does, then treat it "specail", if not, treat it normal.
Bit of a kludge, I know, but off the top of my head that's one approach. There are probably others that may work better.
