As Bob Bartholomay explains in the title, he wanted to get a reference to a FrameworkElement that was created dynamically and animated, but found no way to get that reference. But... using Attached Properties he was able to resolve the puzzle.

Seema Ramchandani responds to questions about creating LOTS of shapes with some good information about how to do so and still retain some manner of speed.
