Changing Items with Triggers?

I tried searching the forums for information on this, but I only found recipe related things. What I'm asking about is this: is it possible to change the Ablilities and Tooltips of an item by using triggers. To make myself clear, here's an example. Let's say a hero has a "Belt of Giant Strength +6". He then picks up a custom item "Belt Modifier +3" which adds a "+3 Strength" ability to the "Belt of Giant Strength +6" and changes its name and tooltip accordingly. Now, most people will say, "Why not just make a new item and detect when the hero has both, and replace, easy." But what if you had multiple modifiers for a single item? The possiblities add up fast, and I would end up making hundreds of items. Any help would be appreciated, and if this is confusing, I can elaborate more.

No, it would be wonderful if it was possible, in fact I believe it's one thing that is most desired, but that's beyond the current object-oriented capabilities of Warcraft 3. Look at the Socketing feature of Vexorian's InvX, that's the closest you'll probably find to what you're looking for.

bew. thanks for the reply and redirect. I haven't looked at Vex's socketing thing yet, but that sounds like exactly what I want. thanks 'gain.

well, incase you can't find it :)

My map has a random item bonus generation system. The item description is shown via multiboard, its probably the best method to do it, since item tooltips cant be modified with triggers.
