Property instancing

Often I have to use the same property multiple times in a node tree. Currently that is a single node with connections to different points in the network which could get messy quickly. Two solutions pop into mind:

- UDK style: If a newly placed property node gets the same name as an existing one then it becomes a clone so both nodes point to the same logical property.

Name equality must be checked when hitting enter in the name field. New node inherits value from existing property when matching name is found.

- Separating property management from property references: Adding properties is limited to the left side property panel, actual nodes have a dropdown replacing the text field listing all available properties of matching type.
This method would be much less prone to user errors: immune to typos, no accidentally littering and then hunting down unwanted properties in the network.
