[scribus] Get articles content online

[niilos]

Hey,

So I wrote my first python scribus script that is very similar to those
you sent to me ! I don’t know how to retrive the attributes of an object
(didn’t find the documentation). Is it possible ? If it is not I will
have to use the object’s name to store the URL !

Thanks !
Niilos
