First of all thanks for the provided code, it works now!
In hindsight, i probably should've explained that i'm creating a simple character panel as a first addOn project and the 'frame' is a simple CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent, "BackdropTemplateMixin" and "BackdropTemplate").
You mention that the game has to 'know' something about the character before it can read values about the character, etc; could you perhaps elaborate a little bit on that? If you have an article or something explaining it, that is also fine
