i'll try to help if i undestand what you are asking.
If your class contain only the information collectors attribute, then you can create and article (on any other object), and insert the next xml tag <object id="id" view="embed"/> http://ez.no/manual/user/everyday#Tags (i haven't tryed, but should work).
Other option, is to create a class were the information collectors is part of all article/object (mixing normal attributes with collectors attributes). i hope that this can help you.
