I'm looking for a way to reference an object, based on a variable with it's name in it. I know I can do this for properties and sub properties:

var req = {body: {jobID: 12}};
console.log(req.body.jobID);             //12

var subProperty = "jobID";
console.log(req.body[subProperty ]);     //12

var property = "body";
console.log(req[property][subProperty]); //12

is it possible for the object itself?

var req = {body: {jobID: 12}};
var object = "req";
var property = "body";
var subProperty = "jobID";
console.log([object][property][subProperty]); //12

or

console.log(this[object][property][subProperty]); //12

Note: I'm doing this in node.js not a browser.

Here is an exert from the function:

        if(action.render){
            res.render(action.render,renderData);

        }else if(action.redirect){
            if(action.redirect.args){
                var args = action.redirect.args;
                res.redirect(action.redirect.path+req[args[0]][args[1]]);

            }else{
                res.redirect(action.redirect.path);
            }
        }

I could work around it by changing it to this, but I was looking for something more dynamic.

        if(action.render){
            res.render(action.render,renderData);

        }else if(action.redirect){
            if(action.redirect.args){
                var args = action.redirect.args;
                    if(args[0]==="req"){
                        res.redirect(action.redirect.path+req[args[1]][args[2]]);
                    }else if(args[0]==="rows"){
                        rows.redirect(action.redirect.path+rows[args[1]][args[2]]);
                    }
            }else{
                res.redirect(action.redirect.path);
            }
        }
