How to attach a game logic to an item template ?

[Cernu 87]

I would like to destroy a templated spawned item after some time. So far I use the delay function on create. However, If the player is interacting with the item, I would like to stop the delay which, afaik, is impossible. So I would like to spawn a time trigger along with the item, so I have more control on time, and the timre trigger be linked somehow to its parent (like a child node in godot...)

Kindda solved. I am using arrays, and storing the items into arrays. It makes the cut for my custom gathering system (time tied)
