How to Create Work Plane Proxy Given an origin plane in a part?

As the title says, I'm trying to get the work plane proxy for use in an assembly - I'm trying to create an assembly mate constraint for two origin planes from within parts.

 

oCylOrigPlane1 = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kWorkPlaneFilter, "Select the origin plane of the cylinder")
oCylOrigPlane2 = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kWorkPlaneFilter, "Select the a co-planar origin plane of the rod")

oCylOrigPlane1.Parent.CreateGeometryProxy(oCylOrigPlane1, oAsmPlane1) oCylOrigPlane2.Parent.CreateGeometryProxy(oCylOrigPlane2, oAsmPlane2)

 I cannot figure out how to get the ComponentOccurence that contains the selected workplane though :disappointed_face:

 

Any help would be much appreciated!
