maybe this is the right thread to brings this up:

could be a good idea to have a some sort of generic getter/setter that
sets properties for plugins to look at. Instead of having
ethumb_video_time_get|set, and the document page equivalent, it would be
better to have ethumb_property_get|set or something of that sort, so
that plugins can be able to obtain other properties that could be
useful, without adding more setters and getters. This would also make
the video_time and document_page functions obsolete.
