Hello,
Since someone a week ago said he had not ventured into custom properties, I
have uploaded a very simple stack which shows how you make a small archive
stack and save it as a custom property, all with just one card. On RevOnLine
you will find it under my user name "sms", or under Categories
-->Programming. Its name is CustPropDatabase.

Marvellous! Now it is not so frightening... I need to think hard about this
solution - are there any serious size limitations? If it could replace 1000
cards, some containing c. 100k text, it would be FAST...

Glad you liked it.
It is actually a very useful way of handling data. Since I discovered it, I have gradually replaced my many data cards in each stack with only one single data card with custom properties.

I do not know about size limitations, others have to answer that. In my project for the Indian dialect Boruca, I use 143 various custom properties totalling 1700 lines of data. This is for teaching the dialect itself (vocabulary training, gapfilling and translation exercises and other types of exercises/games + grammatical analysis of the corpus + vocabulario in which a certain word can be seen in all the contexts in which it occurs).
