Yes, I am modeling a computation network, so "objects" represent
computations on data and references represent data channels.
"deleting" an element implies reconfiguring all attached "pipes", not
just destroy them.

Actual deletion of objects is done via:
getEditingDomain().getCommandStack().execute(DeleteCommand.create(...));

Ok.
Is there some way I can attach a listener there?
I need something like overriding destroy() or a real Listener called
*before* removing objects ("on the way down" of the recursion).

I understand. thanks.
The above question stands.

I'll try to follow...

It seems I dreamed :(
I seem to remember there is some way to "mark" positions in the command
stack, so I can repeatedly undo/redo till I find a matching mark.
I think that is used at least to mark the point where last File->Save
occurred... but I cannot find it again.
Many thanks
