You can certainly bind any number of UI objects to a single property of an 
object.

Specifying an IBOutlet is only necessary if you want to create a connection and 
can only be connected to one thing at a time. Simply specify a property and 
bind the NSTextFields to that.

@interface MyClass
{

}

@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString *aTextValue;

@end

@implementation MyClass

@synthesize aTextValue;

@end

With the later versions of the compiler, you don't even need to specify an 
ivar, it will be created for you.
