So you must be using some (soon to be) obsolete version, e.g. 0.96 ;-)

I just checked with 0.96 and indeed there apparently is no way to get on 
the information. But for 0.97(-pre2) it seems very obvious.

Please try to read and understand my original mail again while using the 
current version.
 1) the XML file gives you the property *names* of what you are looking for
 2) export-objects.py does show you how to get on connected objecs
    (an you can also lookup the property names which are available)

E.g. expporting PyDiaObjects.dia has :

[...]

                </connections>
