How would I go about doing this and still bind to my NSArrayController?

I'd have a (singleton) class MyDataClass with two instance vars: myArray and
myDictionary both of which would hold the same objects and both would be
mutable.

So when I bind the NSArrayController to myArray, and the user adds an item
via the table (and thusly the add: of NSArrayController), how will my class
know that it needs to also add it to the myDictionary?

Thanks,

T.
