How do I retrieve the Current Interactive Report Tab Identification

Question

I have found the FLOWS_030100.Tables.WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEETS and related tables which contain the information relating to the Interactive reports.
I am writing a Procedure which need the 'Conditions' relating to a Saved Report tab of a Interactive report.
I am able to retrieve the some current info via 'Substitution Strings' like:
Flow_ID via APP_ID
Page_ID via APP_PAGE_ID
Session_ID via APP_SESSION
This info will get me to the WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_RPTS table which relates to the individual Saved Reports for a IR.
But if I have multiple Saved Reports on a single IR, I need to find the WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_RPTS.ID to be able to find the related rows on the WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_CONDITIONS table.
Is there a location where I can find the current IR information like the 'Substitution Strings' I listed above that will get me this info?
How would you attack this problem?
Thanks

Trying to report off of an interactive report conditions reliably will lead you down a long road of frustration. Getting the current tab ID is not too tricky here is some JS to get you started:
function getCurTab() {
  //alert('function called');
  //Populate the array with all the page tags
  var tabs = $x('apexir_REPORT_TABS').getElementsByTagName("span");
  //Cycle through the tags using a for loop
  for (i=0; i<tabs.length; i++) {
    //alert(tabs.className);
//Pick out the tags with our class name
if (tabs[i].className=='current') {
//Manipulate this in whatever way you want
alert(tabs[i].id);
setTimeout("getCurTab()",5000);
getCurTab();
This is just a rough and dirty example. This could greatly be improved by using jQuery and an onclick event rather than the timeout. So dont use this in any sort of production environment.
