	Is there a way to get the path for an outgoing connection?
	
	I've been able to use s.getOutConnections().getItem(0).getFolderName() to get the name of the folder, but can't seem to find a way to get a full path for the folder.

				Both Connection and Occurrence classes only provide the folder name as displayed on the canvas. Not the directory path.
