CstomData: packed record
     case integer of
       0 : (i64: int64);
       1 : (lo32, hi32 : Cardinal);
       2 : (Words : Array[0..3] of Word);
       3 : (Bytes : Array[0..7] of Byte);
       4 : (p : pointer);
       5 : (obj : TObject);
  end;
You just invented a Variant type.

Yes, but one that needs much less memory than default fpc variant (8 byte vs. 24 byte) This record is always a better data type than int64 for custom data, but for variant this is not sure.
