Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to create a custom module that has the module focused, because I want to make animations!
And to make those animations, they have to be in the same top-level css class.

Describe the solution you'd like
pseudo config:

$test = {
    type = "custom"
    class = "focus"
    on_mouse_enter = "rm /tmp/window.lock"
    on_mouse_exit = "touch /tmp/window.lock"
    bar = [
        {
            type = "focused"
            show_icon = true
            show_title = true
            icon_size = 24
            icon_theme = "Paper"
        }
        {
            type = "label"
            transition_duration = 400
            label = " Maximize, Close"
            show_if = "0:~/.config/ironbar/states/window/state.sh"
        }
    ]
}

Another alternative solution would be making it possible to have a "box" to contain normal modules.

that issue has been resolved, but it turned into supporting script instead

This is an eventual goal. What I'd like to do is have every custom widget actually be a standalone module, and then custom is purely composed out of modules. That should hopefully simplify things a bit from both a code and user perspective.

I think so, I think it still sounds like a very powerful feature to tie everything together. It's still going to be a long time before I pick this up though.
