   An other easy solution could be to change the Intercept method to actully check if the type is a PropertyData type and return that type like this:
   

   if (invocation.Method.ReturnType.IsSubclassOf(typeof(PropertyData))
       invocation.ReturnValue = page.Property[propertyName];
   else
       invocation.ReturnValue = page[propertyName];
   
   then you could declare it like this
   [PageTypeProperty()]
   public virtual PropertyLinkCollectionLinks { get; set; }

   Hmm, I don't see that solving actually adding the property to the page type?

   The problem as I see it, is that you need to know the underline value type of the property.
   
   If you could declare the PropertyData type as the property directly you don't need to know the type, and the removing the problem :)

   Hmm, no, what I was referring to was that PTB needs to know the type of the property (PageDefinition) to create for the page type. In other words, the problem isn't in retrieving the value.
