We have that capability with messages right now.  It would require
changes to the GUI, to the data stored with an object, and to the
object transmit code, so it's non-trivial.

That said, I don't have time to do this right now.  If another
developer wants to pick up on this I'd be glad to help with pointers
as to where to do the work.
