Link point easy to access from script?

In the TGB level builder, it's easy to drop an object onto another object's link point to mount it. Works great. But from script the link points are a little on the tedious side. Is there a more direct way? here is what I ended up writing:
%tLinkWorldPoint = %this.positionTargetMountToCell.getLinkPoint(1);
%tLinkLocalPoint = %this.positionTargetMountToCell.getLocalPoint(
getWord( %tLinkWorldPoint, 0),
getWord( %tLinkWorldPoint, 1));
%this.mount( %this.positionTargetMountToCell,
getWord( %tLinkLocalPoint, 0 ),
getWord( %tLinkLocalPoint, 1),
100, true, false, false, false);

I hadn't really thought of this particular situation, so I will consider exposing it - need to check something first to make sure everything will work properly (technically link points and mount points are not exactly the same thing).
