Errr ... saw the problem with this immediately after posting the mail. If multiple prop descriptions are originally derived from the same object, then each will have a copy of that object. So instead of one kind of memory overuse, we end up with another kind. I guess a new property dialog remains the only alternative. The memory bloat involved with huge groups will have to be tackled when it does actually become painful.
