I admit negligence in not document this. But if you look at VRanges, you can see how we set a method for "extraColumnSlotNames" returns a character vector of slot names to tell GenomicRanges which slots should be treated as columns (there is also an example in the previous email). These are then handled automatically in subsetting, showing, validation, etc. This has also been used in the exonfindR package (just submitted to Bioc). I'll put documenting that feature on the TODO list.
