I think so...

Indeed. In fact, that combined with transaction agents would probabyl make all
my wildest dreams come true.

I think, in essence, I want to be hook each of the following independently:

1. Object creation (storage for the first time)
2. Object modification
3. Object destruction (when it's no longer available in the storage, or the most
recent revision is marked as deleted)

IS this a reasonable thing to ask for?
