I tried searching for this, just to make sure it hasn't been requested yet, but came up with no results. So, here it goes.

I'd like to see a .type property for $did(), such that it would return the item type of the object ID that triggered an event.

Example
Code:
ON *:DIALOG:dialogName:mouse:*: {
  echo -s The current hover object is of type: $did($did).type
}

Obviously, type would return:
  • dialog
  • text
  • edit
  • button
  • check
  • radio
  • box
  • scroll
  • list
  • combo
  • icon
  • link
  • tab
  • menu
  • menuitem

Thanks, in advance, for any and all consideration or rejection! smile
