Todd, and Brent, As far as I can see, after looking for a good while, the global key command trait can be hung off a game piece. This trait enables a unit to fire a "global key command" out to a specific range in locations from the game piece. I am assuming that setting range=0 would simply fire the command within the piece's own location. (And I'll be rather embarrassed if it doesn't.)
Let me know if this works -- it's likely integral to my Cross-Index utility.
