Hi Sebas,

I am in fact already doing that to calculate in which cell i currently
am pressing the mouse. That's working fine and probably has to stay no
matter which solution i end up using. The issue comes when i make
dynamic elements. If i do that i can't do any of the following
anymore:
- find it and drag it around (required an id)
- reparent (required an id)
- put it in a Column for multiple events starting at the same time
(required an id)
- ...

Cheers,
Mark
