Say you wanted to keep an inventory list for the Token you could prefix all of your inventory properties with Inv:Category:. For example Inv:Weapon:Longsword.

Then to loop through all of the inventory properties you could use

[foreach(item, getMatchingProperties("Inv:.*")): {
    <!-- Do something really exciting here -->
}]

Or the following to loop through all the weapons

[foreach(item, getMatchingProperties("Inv:Weapon:.*")): {
    <!-- Do something really exciting here -->
}]

Or even all the armor and all the shields.

[foreach(item, getMatchingProperties("Inv:(Armor|Shield):.*")): {
    <!-- Do something really exciting here -->
}]
