How to reference a morph in code - but the morph was created by direct manipulation

How do I reference (i.e. program) a Morph created by direct manipulation, for instance dragging a text box from the supplies menu to the desktop, via Squeak/Smalltalk code in say the workspace? I'm okay (well sort of - I'm just learning Morphic) when I instantiate a Morph via Squeak/Smalltalk code but I'm at a loss when I've dragged a Morph into existence.

Many thanks

Kevin

See "Create textual references to dropped morphs" in Workspace menu (white
menu icon near top left corner).

Drag and dropping the morph on a workspace is good start (you have to
click on the "square" in the workspace header, and turn on the "create
textual reference to dropped morphs" option).

Also when you create the morph it gets added to the current "desktop"
(world) submorphs instance variable.

You can MMB  on the "desktop", click the debug tab and explore the
current world.  You'll see it's a PasteUpMorph.

You can get all the PasteUpMorphs in the image with : p :=
PasteUpMorph allInstances, which returns an array of all the projects
"desktops" in the image.
