I did not get a chance to debug through the code.However, you should be able to take a look at the source code at https://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/COMMUNITYTAGS/5.1.a/root/projects/repository/source/java/or…

For other community versions, it can be traversed from https://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/COMMUNITYTAGS

Hope this helps.

You meant to say that feature is already here. 5.2 GA shipped - only Enterprise folks have to wait a bit longer...
