DB_DataObject Inserting into linked tables

I have a major bummer now, I’ve developed a bunch of admin pages without handling the insert side of things, and now I’ve realized it’s maybe not possible this way and I have to rebuild. Say I’m working with artists, right? So I have a form that contains fields from both person and employee fields say. Employee uses the same ID for a primary key as it’s ID in the person table. So I need to make an insert into person and then get the new ID and make an insert into employee. The problem is, I can’t do getLinks() unless there is and ID available to link on. But the rest of my script uses getlinks() extensively, so I am setting all the fields for the insert at the same time I set them for the update with $employee->_person_id->setFrom($person_fields); and $employee->setFrom($employeeFields). Them I just run update on each object. Now what can I do? I can’t use setFrom() on $employee->_person_id because it doesn’t exist because I wasn’t able to link it (because there is no ID yet).
