The user sees she has one slot from the Extra filed and she sees from the Validation report that she must select it from the Vet O'WW category. She picks the Extra that fits the card her GM had her draw. Later she as now a Harrowed she counts Coup on a monster and gets an item (a monster scalp) that gives her a slot that can be used to get her ability,

It is an easy add an would be useful for many settings outside of Rifts (Deadlands, Mars, and Interface Zero comes to mind)and if we get an official Rifts the basic work is done.
If it's easier to code to get it in I'm for this, but I would much prefer to see it added like an extra "Hindrances" tab that otherwise works exactly like Hindrances where they can be added from the Advances at no cost as a better way to include those things, like the VotWW stuff or Coup, etc., into a data file so they are selectable. Having a Custom entry there would also be very useful to implement what dartnet suggests above to just cover anything else not in a data file to at least get it noted on a sheet in a similar way.

This is definitely one of the things that's been on my wish list for a long time that I would love to see.
