I would like to start a discussion to propose the implementation of "Event triggers" (for the lack of a better name for now).
Those special triggers would be associated to an EVENT, not to a TABLE. When the associated event is fired in any of the active attachments, all the active attachments "interested" in that event would run the trigger. My personal example of use for such feature, would be to force the update of global context variables in all active attachments, when the EVENT is fired. Of course there are questions to be discussed, for example: the trigger would ran in what transaction context? Should it be forced to be ReadOnly (making things simpler, but much more limited)? This would be for FB 3.x or 4. If you guys thinks this is not the right moment to talk about it, I can just open a ticket and leave it in the tracker waiting for the right time.
