Can this be done with a subobject?
Subobjects as such do not have a type. They are defined by their content which is given by property-value pairs. So if you need many "Figures" on one page, you can simply create many subobjects with the required property values. But maybe you have been asking the opposite question? If you have *one* subobject that you want to use as a value to *many* properies, then just using the #subobject function in one property assignment would not work. To solve this, we would allow subobjects to have "names" to be assigned to them. So you could have a subobject "figure_1" and this would have a stable ID "pagename#figure_1" that can be used in as many places as you like.
