Ah but it also says...

Class item: An item
Plural form:
        items
Properties:
        name  Unicode text  -- the name of the item
[...]
        bounds  bounding rectangle  -- the bounding rectangle of the item (can
only be set for an item in a window viewed as icons or buttons)
        label index  integer  -- the label of the item
        locked  boolean  -- Is the file locked?
[...]
