You can register your own factories for proxy objects to do what you
want. I'm afraid it's not documented, however, so you'll have to read
the stub code to see how proxies are registered. You'll probably want to
use the -Wbvirtual_objref flag to omniidl's C++ backend so you can
override the object references' methods.

Cheers,
