It's a good idea. If you want to implement services like progress bars,
animated icons, sliders etc you probably need access to most event types.

I guess this depends on how you hide the object data from the application.

You don't need to do that, it could also be implemented by designing a new
object format (or extend the original one) and add functions to manipulate
the objects and object tree. Then there's no limit on what you can add to
this new format - text editor objects, tabbed dialogs/object trees, sliders,
three view objects etc.
