regionID available when using perch_content_custom()

I can get the value of regionID in my template when I use perch_content(). But when I use perch_content_custom() to do the same, regionID is not available in the template.
(I need perch_content_custom() to filter the data.)

I have done a <perch:showall> to verify and regionID is not in the list.

Question
Is there a way to get the value of regionID and itemID into the template, when it is called with perch_content_custom() ?

Example
index.php

perch_content_create('Reiki1', array(
    'template' => 'reikicoursedays.html',
    'multiple' => true,
    'edit-mode' => 'singlepage'
));

perch_content('Reiki1'); <!-- will show the regionID -->
perch_content_custom('Reiki1', array('page'=>'/reiki.php','template'=>'reikicoursedays.html')); <!-- not showing the regionID -->

Template /templates/content/reikicoursedays.html

<!--* reikicoursedays.html file *-->
<perch:content id="regionID" type="hidden" />
<perch:content id="itemID"    type="hidden" />
<h2>
    <perch:content id="alineakop" type="text" label="Alinea Kop" required="true" title="true" />
</h2>
<perch:content id="alineatekst" type="textarea" size="m" markdown="true" label="Alinea Tekst" required="true"/>
<perch:showall>

regionID is an internal value to Perch, it's not something you should be using in your templates.

Well,
Querying Both itemId and regionID serves me very well.

I have made an extension on your Ctrl-E function that will jump to the right region page in perch admin.

access regions from front end on github

Due to this function I have kept customers from choosing Wordpress. It’s going to be a big help in selling perch I find. So I’m very happy with being able to use these two variables.

I was going to ask you for adding this edit functionality to the main perch code.

Question Is there a way to get these two variables from a perch_content_custom() call ?

Thanks, René
