Feature Request: generic way of keeping custom data in a control

[spheenik@…]

In Delphi, a TComponent has a property "Tag". It is used by developers to attach some non-framework-relevant data to it, one could also say, to tag it. Such a feature is missing from Prado currently, but could be easily added to TControl, as it is just one "define and forget"-property :)

Imagine a situation where I have multiple buttons, each letting me load a specific record from the database. I would tag the button with the primary key of the record, and could easily read the tag from the event handler to retrieve the record.

In Template I would have:

<com:TButton Tag="1" OnClick="clicked" /> 
<com:TButton Tag="2" OnClick="clicked" /> 

And in PHP:

public function clicked($sender, $param)
{
    $db->retrieveByPK($sender->Tag);
    ...
}

Sorry for posting before previewing, this somehow came out as a defect, but should be an "enhancement" or "new feature"
