I'm not sure whether I understand properly, what are you trying to achieve. From time to time I need to find particular result that executed certain tests. I do that simply by:

    ls *DATE*/test-results/*test_name*

For CI this is what I'm using. I create a tmpdir for each execution and the "tmpdir/latest" points to the result. This nicely integrates with Jenkins as I can easily browse archived artifacts between builds as all of them share the same base (latest).
