DataGridColumn suggestion

I find myself with the usecase that I want to have a way to conditionally apply things to a column. For example I want to have a CellContextMenu be accessible only on specific types of columns since the context menu would be dependent on some data.

The workaround I have had so far is thatt I use the Property parameter, to store a metadata about the column, however this is a missuse of your design as I see it.

Perhaps there is some value in having such a parameter in the RadzenDataGridColumn?

Maybe you can use UniqueID:

          }
          
          Type _propertyType;
          internal Type PropertyType => _propertyType;
          
          /// <summary>
          /// Gets or sets the unique identifier.
          /// </summary>
          /// <value>The unique identifier.</value>
          [Parameter]
          public string UniqueID { get; set; }
          
          /// <summary>
          /// Called when initialized.
          /// </summary>
          protected override void OnInitialized()
          {
              if (Grid != null)
              {
                  Grid.AddColumn(this);

I think the risk is the same. If the UniqueId is something that Radzen will rely on, I wouldn't be so quick to overwrite it

The alternative I tried previously was to try and create a data grid column wrapper to which I could attach whatever metadata is fitting my case.
