This is the ability for clients to query attributes about an object.

Specifically, we're generally talking about some SLCP way to do this.

Coke reports there is a not fully working #$# query command. source

This will take some digging on my part, but my general vision for how this was supposed to work is based on the CloverSystemSummerProject^? architecture. The general idea is that you can query for arbitrary elements at any given time via a '#$# query'-type mechanism. There was also to be a mechanism for registering 'interest' in an attribute on a given object. This registration would lead to a change notification whenever that attribute was updated. This kind of query-event architecture could be quite useful, but its interaction with the existing lily event system is unclear. That has a lot to do with why it never went anywhere.
