object properties

["F. Paquet" <fredy gilera opag ch>]

Would be extremely useful to have a configurable set of text attributes
associated with each object. The attribute values should be editable in 
the object properties box. 

Another helpful feature would be the possibility to run a system comand 
from each object's menu, passing the object (type, name, ...) as
arguments
to the command.

Having both features will permit you to use Dia as a graphical workbench 
to build CASE tools and the like.
