I think so.

You add PropertySheets to a DataSkin, and the sheets' data get handled
by SheetProviders.

You can use triggers or custom sheet providers to add sheets to an
object if that object meets certain criteria. The object need not know
it has had those sheets added. The object plays different roles with
different specialists.
