I've been able to read/write to a field in a stack from an .irev document
using livecode server. And while in the IDE on land,  I've used UI elements
in the stack for testing routines that aren't used 'in the wild'. lc server
doesn't seem to choke on those UI elements, usually ignores.  I think I've
created and deleted cards too.
And of course the custom properties are gold in the server environment for
lookup and site (not user) settings
Sometime whole library stacks created for the desktop can work verbatim in
the server environment  such as Mark Smith's (the late one) mp3 tag reading
and writing library.
