It lets me flag a card to take some action without polling every object
or needing to keep track in a custom property, or do something else that
requires upkeep. As long as that control exists, the handler runs. I
don't have to remember to do anything else.

OK. Now *that's* pretty clever. As long as there's a "whatever"
control on a card the action will be taken. But I still don't get why
you would want multiple "whatever" controls on the same card...


There may or may not be multiples, but I was responding to why we'd want same-named controls in the stack. If we were able to assign icons by image name, we could only have one image of that name to be sure of an accurate ID.

I used to use same-named buttons on a card actually, but that was a HyperCard holdover. I use labels or properties now.
