Yes I think you are close to what would be required for Ed's solution. However, what I did using a subclass and the update() I also did not like. I try hard not to go outside of the framework - if possible. I felt like what I did was going outside of the framework. Which in turn made me consider that maybe an attribute/property or method should be provided for situations like this.
