can shapesheet connection name be dynamically changed?

[perry59]

Kinda hard to explain, but I'll try (attached drawing which makes it pretty clear).
I have a grouped object which represents a portion of a terminal strip. This portion has 3 "incoming" connections and 3 "outgoing".
The designators for each connection can be changed via double clicking the group and bringing up its data.
when I attach a connector to one of these connections, I want to be able query the connector to find out what terminal it is attached to. This normally would be fairly easy, however since the terminal names can be changed I run into problems.
the crux of it is, if the terminal name changes, how can I get the connection point name in the shapesheet to take that value?
i.e. "connections.input" would change to "connections.B" or whatever the terminal name changed to.
is this possible, or do I have to come up with a totally different approach?
Thanks!

never mind. I physically moved the connection points to the group shape itself and it made querying a lot simpler. then I just put some custom props in the shape with the same name as the connection points and read those.

You can change the connection row type, to named, I think.  That allows you to assign a name to each connection point row and to add some text to the "d" cell.  That ought to save adding extra properties.
