Fields in a data stack that is hidden have almost the same access time as custom properties, but they can be shown when necessary for easier debugging.
Without being sure of your data structure, I would put each table in a single field on it's own card. Then write functions to get & set this data easily e.g. getTable, getCell, setTable, setCell. I wouldn't recommend using Rev's tables as they are not very good yet, but you can use a field with vertical & horizontal grids and tabstops to make something similar, just handle the data editing yourself. Fell free to ask again if you have any mroe questions.
