I looked at the widget. Not sure how to use it. I got an object with a + 
control which apparently creates custom property keys and displays it in the 
field. I could probably make that work, but I probably won't have a lot of 
control over the appearance. I got the thing working by manipulating the HTML 
text. 

The goal will be to create an object library where I can select an object, be 
it a group, button, field or menu (I know it's a glorified button) and then in 
a palette add that object to a list where each object class is 
expandable/collapsable. 

I have certain fields and buttons which have custom scripts and properties 
which control how they behave in my apps. I am trying to create a kind of 
Library app that will allow me to change a few settings then "drop" the object 
onto a card. 

I will have to be able to add and delete objects to this list, while copying 
the actual object to the library somehow. If it works the way I would like, I 
will be able to create and customize objects one time, then drop them any 
number of times. 

Behaviors work well for scripts, but there is no "behaviors" for properties. I 
suppose they would be called "templates" if they existed. I suppose I could 
simply provide a list of properties and let the user check off the ones they 
want to include in a "template" but there are so many properties this would 
become cumbersome pretty quickly. Also, that would not handle more complex 
objects like groups.
