We have ASelObj when modifying forms or classes. This allows us to know the currently selected object (or objects), from which we can learn the PEMs and their values, sibling objects, child objects, and the top-level object being edited, and other functions and methods allows us to create PEMs, and remove child objects, etc.. All of PEM Editor depends on this.

I have never heard of any similar feature when using the Report Designer. Without it, I think this suggestion can go nowhere.
