Can you add properties when you create the node? like:

temp.node = addnode("Test1");
temp.node.coolprop = "WeeEeeE";

then access the node.coolprop in .select() ?

Yes. A node is GuiTreeViewNode.

hm i dont think my follow up question on the nodes was clear.
asking with a picture helped before, so i will do it again:

and Skyld, what was wrong with your menu? i was not looking to correct anything in your gui.

so: how do i detect that a node has been clicked? what does the event block look like, that will have item_desc_text.text="new text"; inside it?
where in relation to the gui creation should the 'click on a node' event detection go?
does it need to be in a timeout loop?
