how do you dispatch events between things in nested repeat elements

if I have something like:

<xf:repeat ref="a" id="repeat1">

<xf:action ev:event="action-event1">

<xf:message>event1</xf:message>

</xf:action>

<xf:repeat ref="b" id="repeat2">

<xf:action ev:event="action-event2">

<xf:message>event2</xf:message>

</xf:action>

<xf:repeat ref="c" id="repeat3">

<xf:action ev:event="action-event3">

<xf:message>event3</xf:message>

</xf:action>

<xhtml:input type="checkbox" onclick="ORBEON.xforms.Document.dispatchEvent('repeat1', 'action-event1');"/>

<xhtml:input type="checkbox" onclick="ORBEON.xforms.Document.dispatchEvent('repeat2', 'action-event2');"/>

<xhtml:input type="checkbox" onclick="ORBEON.xforms.Document.dispatchEvent('repeat3', 'action-event3');"/>

</xf:repeat>

Shouldn't something like this let me popup the various messages for each repeat with proper context for each iteration? I have no problem dispatching events to the proper model, but I can't seem to be able to do it to a control. I've tried hidden triggers and all sorts of things. I'm assuming that I'm just having difficulty getting the getting the proper targetID for the dispatch event.

please help, thanks
