Storing a control in a custom property

[Mike Bonner]

Can't do it with a stack that is not its own mainstack so you have to make
sure any stacks you store this way are set to point to themselves, but I
don't see why you couldn't do it.  Copy the stack to clipboard (after
making sure it is not a sub) pop it out of the clipboard data, encrypt it
and store it.  To use, decrypt, pop it in to the clipboarddata array and
"paste."

Think I recall that stacks go in as "objects" too.  Can't do it with
multiple selected objects, but can put multiple objects into a group and
then store the single group. (there is probably a way to do it with
multiple objects but I haven't messed with it enough to know how to
accomplish it yet.)
