You are right, that makes only sense in a special use case, and won't 
bring that much benefit for everything else. having custom variables 
being honoured in several ways would fullfil the target a bit more.

Hmmm, I would tag that either

_HTML_URL_GRAPH etc

Main problem is where to place those attributes within the view. All 
together, or seperated. So the basic idea would be to define a subset of 
possible definitions being recognized by all available GUIs, right?

That's not so modular as you described, but it fits onto custom 
variables with are really optional. and having such variables predefined 
for the most common use cases would make that easier for users to add 
such things (having a direction what to define is easier than just a 
blank _HTML_SHORT variable).

Sure. Sorry for only focusing on Classic UI and Web, that's just my 
current status quo in deployment plans (testing Thruk and other 
(gui)addons still remains on my todolist).

Kind regards,
Michael
