The class of objects addressed by ID is not checked - probably a minor bug. Most of these IDs (except XML elements) are unique across the classes. You can take advantage of that by using any class. The resulting object will have the correct class anyway.

I would prefer to suggest you use some generic base class instead, but "Object" does not work.



 
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS4"
 
   tell active document
 
      get id of page 1
 
      -- 190
 
      get class of character style id 190
 
      -- page
 
      get side of page id 190
 
      -- right hand
 
      get side of character style id 190 
      -- right hand
 
   end tell
 
end tell
