Is there currently a way to set this > argument? No there isn't. I had overlooked the fact that you wanted the property to be effective across back-ends. So, it would define how the entry should appear in the table of contents in every back-end where it makes sense. That's a bit of work, because, so far, node-property values are not parsed. So it would require to define a new class of node-properties: those with a parsed value. But then, how to decide which properties have their value parsed are parsed and which have not?
