Adding data to an element type

Is it possible to add further information to a simple element type, like walls or slabs?

I am looking to add something like fire rating, UL number, sound transmission ratings, etc. to floors and walls.

I know in GDL it's simple, but I am digging around trying to find out if (A) I can add a panel to the Wall Settings menu and (B) assign the information to the walls in a project.

I know could probably be done similar to Wall Accessories, assigning a non-visible object to the wall, but that seems like a rather round-a-bout way to accomplish the goal.

Any thoughts?

That's OK, Akos.

After all these years, I think I can make my own directory 😉
