Jaime,
@br is for locating things on the screen.  It can be used to make data 
entry look like they are changing a line of the browse, or placing data 
on the line.  It can not be used to tell what data is on the line.

But, if the user selects the line by pressing a HotKey on the line, then 
you know what record of data they want to manipulate.  The @br tells you 
where that line was on the screen.
