Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. This is unrelated to any problem.

Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice if they could be used to set an element's properties (data) too. I understand that the UI for manipulating properties is separate on purpose, but some simple manipulation would be very useful: for example a way to increment/decrement numerical values at the click of a button, or to update a certain property to contain the current date.

Reason being: give the user a quick and easy way to change document version numbers, last update dates, etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• The only viable alternative, currently, is to click "Edit data" and replace the entire value, which is rather error prone.
• A possible alternative to shapes calling custom links which, in turn, change properties would be to allow data types for properties, and display appropriate controls in the "Edit data" UI (e.g. date picker or increment/decrement arrows).
