WebDAV clients operate in the server's folder and document hierarchy. This is a convenient and powerful way to approach and manipulate the server's data - but it does obscure a significant amount of information as well. For example a document in WebDAV is known by it's filename [and perhaps its displayName as well, depending on the client]. But the object id is unavailable, as is the object id of the folder containing the document, the SHA-512 checksum, and a variety of other attributes.
