The only current way is via ibis.

There are two approaches I can think of off the top of my head:

1. Support for this and other SA searches in the SM console
2. Be able to obtain these remotely via building on top of umad in some
form (a real userspace SA client will likely be done in the not too
distant future).

What is the timeframe for this need ? How formal do you need something
in the interim ?
