I guess you (EDIT: @Sighoya) meant something like this: [EzXML.jl/node.jl at 3751fbe3c70b2783c19f05925375de74b7faf107 · JuliaIO/EzXML.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/bicycle1885/EzXML.jl/blob/3751fbe3c70b2783c19f05925375de74b7faf107/src/node.jl#L390-L423).

Thanks for both answers.

Can broadcasting achieve the same as get/set property overloading?

No, broadcasting and properties are unrelated.
