Rather than have "all controls matching a mask ..." get the message, I
think it would be better to introduce a publish-subscribe model.
One example (not one you can use directly :-) is in the IDE, see the
publish/subscribe section of
https://livecode.com/how-to-create-plugins-and-tools-with-the-livecode-8-0-ide/
but those ideas could easily be borrowed for your own purpose (or, maybe
less easily, made into a general-purpose library for all to use).

Its not that difficult to write a loop to dispatch to each, but it would be
very interesting if one could release a message into the wild, and all
controls matching a mask would sit up and take notice.
It would be nice to be able to pop out an "reintialize" message, and any
controls with that particular handler would.. well.. reinitialize.
Just curious.
