You’re not doing anything wrong, you’re just missing one intermediate step.

If you ask for

"type":"/foo/bar"
"*":[]

then the property values you get back are for properties of the /foo/bar 
type, and can be referred to as /foo/bar/baz.

(There is an exception for the properties of /type/object, such as type 
itself, name, creator, timestamp, etc.)
