Anyway it would be interesting to know what the actual problem is that the OP wants to solve.

 

If we're considering really bad ideas, there is an actual answer that could be considered: fork System.Classes, add the desired property to TCompoent, and rebuild everything. Literally everything; you'll have to drop to the command line to rebuild all of the DCUs in Delphi, and rebuild every single component you're using in the IDE.

 

That's a last resort, but it would work.

 

Of course, there is probably a much easier and less brutal way to accomplish the OP's goal, if we only knew what that is.

I suggest to wait with bated breath to see what comes next... I fear a collection of bad ideas might not be such a good...idea.
