spaCy-like dependency graph navigation in CoreNLP

Is it possible to navigate the dependency parse tree in CoreNLP the way one does that in spaCy as described here? So far I see that token attributes like lemmas, POS tags, etc. are retrievable through an index, e.g. sent.lemmas(5) returns the lemma of the sixth token. I am not sure this exists for dependency heads and relations. Is there an established way of using these apart from navigating the whole tree every time?

If you're using the regular API, I believe what you're looking for is the function:

Set<IndexedWord> SemanticGraph#vertexSet()

This iterates over all of the nodes in a dependency tree [/graph]. each IndexedWord is also a CoreLabel, which means it has all of the functions you know and love for tokens.

From the simple API -- which I gather is what you're using -- you can get a regular old dependency graph with:

SemanticGraph Sentence#dependencyGraph()
