I have a mod author question about Nameplate Modifier:

I'm wondering whether it is possible/efficient/etc or not to add 3 icons to enemy name plates where I could see my Shadow Word: Pain/Vampiric Touch/Vampiric Embrace timers.

I haven't studied the name plates much, I only know that they can't be reached quite easily, and I assume that the information available is limited. So:

- Is it possible to retrieve, from a name plate, the debuff applied to a mob (I guess not?)
- Is it possible to retrieve the unit GUID (I wonder)
- Can it be combined with a DoTimer-like addon to use the unit name as well as home-made timers, and a semi-clever check of the combat log if necessary, to track your debuffs on the name plates that you can see, assuming you are not fighting enemies with the same names (I guess so?)
