Hi,
This is actually and EMF question, since it's EMF that determines how to
encode the fragment part (the part after the #) of the URI pointing to
an object within a resource.
Try using the id or key feature of the attribute, to tell the resource
that this attribute is either unique within the whole resource or unique
within its eContainer. This should affect the fragment.

Maybe I do not know enough about EMF yet.
But if I understand it correctly, you are saying that if in my model I defined a a field as an ID (I did) or defined an EKey for the containment (I did) the path/fragment should change automatically?
In that case maybe I should remake my model to see if I forgot anything, as it does not seem to happen.
