Well, a context-sensitive analysis may help you get what you are looking-for. You could get something like:
 - o7 points to AllocNode in "getNewO()" called from instruction "o7 = ...getNewO()" in ... called from ...
 - o8 points to AllocNode in "getNewO()" called from instruction "o8 = ...getNewO()" in ... called from ...

But there will always be limit to the depth of the context and it can be extremly costly to compute even for a small depth parameter of 2 or 3!

Check Paddle and the "Context abstraction (context)" argument.
