Ben,
I had the same issue when it came to saving abstraction's gui settings
in the path of the parent patch. My solution was to have a sort of
Mother sub-patch that I copied into all of my patches. My abstractions
then communicate with the mother patch, and it knows what path the
parent's in because it's a sub-patch, not an abstraction.
So I guess no, there is no way. I asked this... many months ago and got
the same response.
