Retrieving Linked Reports Programatically?

How do you get the properties for a linked report? Is it not possible
to do this by the linked report name? I only see 4 methods for linked
servers:
CreateLinkedReport
GetReportLink
ListLinkedReports
SetReportLink
None of which I see do any property retreiving. Am I missing
something here?
Any help is appreciated,
FrankGetProperties(), GetReportParameters() as well as some other methods should
work with linked reports.

programatically. Using CreateLinkedReport works fine, but for reports
with parameters there does not seem to be a way to connect them to the
Linked Report with its own defaults. Currently, I am playing with
SetReportParameters, but it is awkward and I'm not sure this is the
way to do it.
Basically, for creating a new linked report I am pulling up the report
parameters using GetReportParameters using the Linked Report path.
Then when I call SetReportParameters using the future path of the
Linked Report I am creating.
Does this sound correct or am I on the wrong path? It doesn't seem
that many people are playing around with Linked Reports through code.
