There is a properties system;  but I don't think it is really documented
anywhere.  (Actually I think the property system originated in the
projects/documents module.)   There is a property manager page in the
project document view (WebUI/Project/LSWProject/SkyPropertiesEditor.m &=20
WebUI/Project/LSWProject/SkyPropertyEditor.m)  I'm not certain if a list
of prescribed properties like is available for appointments exists;
although it probably wouldn't be too hard to add.

Properties are managed by the SkyObjectPropertyManager and at least
partly also exposed through the DocumentAPI.  I think the actual
operation of searching is performed through the DocumentAPI and the
"File Manager" (SkyProjectFileManager) object.

The zOGIAction+Property.m
<http://zogi.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/Source/zOGIAction+Property.m> file
might help as a simple example of how to get/set object properties.

There is also, a sadly butchered, patch to add custom attributes to
tasks via the property manager

This isn't currently supported to my knowledge,  but it would certainly
be useful.  =20

You can grant permissions, but I believe the creator is the owner.  I
don't know if there is any explicit operation to change the owner of a
document;  although that also seems like a good idea.
