Your suggestion is a lot like what you can do for any number of custom
properties all in the same custom property set:

setprop uMyCustomPropertySet[pCustomProperty] pValue
  switch pCustomProperty
    case "propA"
      put 1 into tValue
      break
    case "propB"
      put 2 into tValue
    default
      put 3 into tValue
  end switch
  ask the params & cr & tValue
  set the uMyCustomPropertySet[pCustomProperty] of the target to tValue
end uMyCustomPropertySet[pCustomProperty]

See "setprop" in the dictionary.
