Is there any way that I can set some label or attribute in the javascript and a plug-in can then read it later on. Like a document label or box label or frame label anything ?

thanks

Almost every object inside an InDesign document can have a label. In JS, simply use

      [whatever].label = "Your private data";




where "whatever" is anything from Application, Asset, AssignedStory, Assignment, Behavior, Book, BookContent, Bookmark, Button, Cell, CellStyle ... and so on (about 100 items).

The string may be any string you want, of any reasonable length (I remember seeing a limit of 32,767 characters somewhere).

You can also set custom labels using insertLabel. How would you read these using a plug-in?
