You can. You can even set a custom property to an entire stack.
I use these all the time, they are incredibly powerful and convenient. But I do not understand what it means to set a property to an object, as opposed to a chunk of text (or maybe a video file?). So you can set the xxx of btn "b1" to btn "b2". And if you then get the xxx of btn "b1", you will get empty, unless you have made button "b2" into a container, and put some text into it. In that case you get that text back. But that is not the same thing as having the button itself as the contents of the property, is it? It is a disconnect between what I think of as a property, and what I think of as a container. Can't wait to see how this works; I have always wondered...

This cold is getting to me, I can't remember. I thought you could store all kinds of things into a custom property? Images, object, sounds, etc. -- Is this correct?
