Given a sketch object selection, how would i get a reference to the sketch that owns it?

Suppose a user selects a sketch entity like so:

<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; annotation { "Name" : "Sketch Objects",</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "Filter" : (GeometryType.ARC || GeometryType.LINE) && SketchObject.YES,&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 100 }</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; definition.sketchThings is Query;</div>

How would i go about getting a reference to the sketch object that contains it, so that i can add other items to the same sketch?

I know I can use evOwnerSketchPlane, but i want the sketch, not the plane.
I tried qOwnerBody() but that doesnt seem to produce a sketch object

Unfortunately, that's not possible: a sketch only "produces" entities once it's solved and at that point no more stuff can be added to it.  If features later in the regen process could add stuff to sketches earlier in the regen process, it would cause a kill-your-own-grandfather time loop.

hah! the old kill-your-own-grandfather problem!  If i had a nickle for every time i run into that
