Keep getting lost with the LOM

[intellijel]

I feel like I keep going around in circles while following the LOM documentation.

For a project I am trying to implement the following:
Whenever I play a clip by clicking on it in Live, its color gets changed after it finishes playing.

I think one thing I am confused by is the fact that there are several different ways to get to the same path location. In this example I am using path live_set view selected_track and then using the middle outlet of live.path so that it follows wherever I am in the live set. This path gets me to a specific track (but without using the canonical path). Now that I am at a track I can access track properties and call track functions.
So now I am at a track and a live.observer is feeding me clip slot numbers of fired tracks. I then want to use this info to get the object id of any clip in that slot so that I can set its color. This is where I am stuck.
I think I am not getting relative paths... e.g. I am now at a specific track (although I do not know the track number) how do I now navigate from this path start point (i.e. a track id) and then go to a clip_slot and then clip so that I can change its color?

Here is my starting point:

Try this path: live_set view detail_clip
Direct access to the selected clip (not the clip slot).
I hadn't have a look at your patch for the moment, but I did a patch that does what you want to achieve, so maybe I can help you.
