One of my favorite new techniques is to use an object array as a hidden column 
in a listbox array. In the old days (before v15 r something or the other) I 
often had array based list boxes which had a bunch of hidden columns to store 
data that I wanted to do something with when the row was selected. Now I only 
need a single hidden column. Each element of the object array can store a 
wealth of additional information about the row. And it is really easy to extend 
what is stored in the object in the future. No more adding additional columns 
and making sure they are updated in all the right places. So nice!

P.S. Having such an array is a bit like what is requested here, but on a 
listbox row level:
