#### Is it possible to match clients based on properties other than class or instance?
Yes, but not directly. You need to create a new `awful.rule` that overrides the class property and then match that to your tag:
```lua
awful.rules.rules = {
--default stuff here,
{
rule = { class = "URxvt", name = "dev" },
callback = function(c)
awful.client.property.set(c, "overwrite_class", "urxvt:dev")
end
}
}
```
This example changes the class of URxvt with name "dev" from "urxvt" to "urxvt:dev" which then can be matched to a tag.
For more information on possible porperties look at [Awful Rules](http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Understanding_Rules) or [API](http://awesome.naquadah.org/doc/api/modules/client.html)
