It’s definitely hard to understand exactly what you’re getting at.
My first impression is that the “events” feature you’re asking for should be already covered by the current object system. Why not just use tile objects, give them names and place them on an object layer called “Events”?
Which project is stalling and silent? I hope you don’t mean Tiled, because development has never been more active (you can read about it in the Development Updates topic). I do not understand what you mean with being bored with the type.
