Is it possible to include more than one value in the OpenArgs without having to parse the one variable into many?

From the moment you aggregate different values in a tag, you will have to parse the tag one way or another, to process your values.
I know at least 3 ways to do:
-Use a string tag made of an alphanumeric and a numeric part. This allows you to store values for two different variables, and easily extract them.
-Use a string tag with regular delimiters, that can be parsed through string processing or the Split function. More suited for a variable that can take various values at the same time.
-Use a bit tag that you can analyse using bit wise operations. Suited for various boolean(yes/no) variables.

You can also use binary values. With these, you can pass many parameters in one value. Kind of like a "poor man's array."
