You are right, custom UI object may not be the right way. Could these elements be defined and used separately? I mean using Tellurium widgets so that each widget has its own UI definition and functions, i.e., methods. If you can use widget, it will significantly reduce your UI definition and make your UI more modularized. But the downside is that the widget must be a relatively static piece of UI, i.e., you can change some parameters, but not the whole structure. That is why we create special widgets for Javascript frameworks such as DOJO, because the widgets for a framework are pretty static.
If it is not the case, i.e., the UI elements have to be part of other UI elements so as to be treated as a meaningful piece, then, what we need is very much like Macros in C/C++, which require some pre-processing. If this is really valuable, sure, we can pursue in this direction.
