Nope. With commands like these:

    \starttexdefinition LogNote #NOTETEXT
    \writestatus{Note}{{\getfullstructurenumber{\thenamedheadlevel{section}}:p.\pagenumber}
    #NOTETEXT}
    \stoptexdefinition

    \LogNote{See http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/ter.eunuchus.html for
    the original.}

and the note is in a section, I get:

    Note            > {\oldstylenumerals {1}\color
    [red]{A·}\oldstylenumerals {8}:p.19} See
    http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/ter.eunuchus.html for the original.


which reflects the formatting of the chapter and section numbers. But 
worse, I have to track the section depth, because if the note is at a 
different level there is nothing displayed for the sectioning. I want 
the unformatted numbers as displayed in

    structure       > sectioning > section @ level 3 : 1.3.5 -> Group
    authorship and works for hire


and if I do not have to track the level and recurse to pick up each 
component that would be better.
