I'm no zope guru, but there's a class called TraversalMixin in
lib/canonical/launchpad/browser/tests/test_launchpad.py that has a
traverse method that looks like it does what you want. Someone (me?)
used it to write the tests for the lp.net/+branch/<shortname>
redirection.

You've probably already solved the problem though. If you have, please
share how!
