BUIs need an easy way to sub to compstate changes #26866

Ideally BUISystem or whatever would have some helper method so the BUI can sub to afterautohandlestate for specific component states. This would easily let us take advantage of component networking instead of either checking every frame for data changes or using UI states even when not appropraite.

Just like item status I'm really not sure this is practical. You're gonna have what, 4 BUIs open at once? Each reading worse case a dozen or two properties?

There's technology for this already.
