How does this idea look to the community?  Seems hackish to me, but might
work?

errything = datastore.find( {} )[0]

...

dsobject = chooser.get_selected_object( )

from_journal = False
for errything_ds in errything:
     if errything_ds.object_id == dsobject.object_id:
          from_journal = True
          break
