  As "Currency rates" are mentioned, I wonder if the could that be used to store a tracker of "semi-hard" values that need to be reused in other places ?

  If we could declare system tracker, we could use a system.tracker.company to store and manage wiki variable like a company name (displayed on documents, invoices)

  Copy to clipboard

  {system.company.name} = "Bernard Sfez, inc."

  
  Or also VAT rate need to be used in many places (displayed on documents, invoices, etc and used as value in calculation)

  Copy to clipboard

  {system vat.rate} = "17%"

  This would make things more solid than they are so VAT is not changeable by mistake on a tracker accessible to editors (role)
  To complete the Rates and VAT case, the value should be changeable BUT with garantie that previous document stay with the previous value.
  IE: We have a calculation and display of VAT for documents (invoices) before February 2022 with {system vat.rate} = 17% and we have calculation and display of VAT for documents (invoices) after February 2022 with {system vat.rate} = 18%

  A bit like the "strange" union of the Plugin Attributes (https://doc.tiki.org/PluginAttributes) and the Dynamic-Variable (https://doc.tiki.org/Dynamic-Variable) ?
  Those exist but rarely used as they are quite not user-friendly and hard to control once set.

  What about using a system tracker to manage signatures ?
  This is also (in some aspect) a "upper data" with its own properties and attributes that is to be attached to objects (like currency)
