I don't think the shoe has dropped for you yet. *All* properties contain something, and all are assigned to a specific object (the assignment is what you are calling "contained by", which probably isn't exactly the right concept.) Every native property has both a name and a value, and is attached to an object. Custom properties are no different. The native property called "name" contains a string like "myName" and is assigned to the object that has that name. The property "textColor" contains an RGB value and is assigned to a button or field you are asking about. The property "location" contains a set of 2 numbers and is assigned to the object at that location. The property "myCustomProp" contains whatever value you want to give it and is assigned to any object you choose.

There is no practical difference, and all are properties. The only thing that is effectively different is that you can invent your own property names, assign them to an object of your choice, and fill them with any value you want to store.

It really is simpler than you're trying to make it. :)
