I am currently capturing text as follows:

#TR line1 {&{name} can be referred to as '&{tags}'} {} idtemp

No problems there, I would just like @name and @tags to be members of the idtemp class. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

Not via the &varname reference (by the way, you don't need the {} around variable name). You can do what you want very easily via a=b variable syntax, though:

//module or window name/class/path/to/idtemp/varname = value

Gotcha - thank you.

An addendum to this post - I used your recommended syntax to create the variables in the desired class, and they are subsequently stored in that class. Now when I use #DELC to remove the class (which contains triggers, and the variables created using the above method), the triggers are deleted properly but all of the variables get dumped up to the parent level. Is there a good way to remove those variables without #UNVARing every last one of them?

If you delete a class and stuff in that class is for sure not getting removed along with that class, then either what you think is not getting removed properly wasn't in that class to begin with (ie, script tried saving data after the variables were deleted) or there's no way around this other than to write scripts that disable/enable rather than create/delete (creation/deletion is much slower than enable/disable, fyi).
