No, that's not quite the way it works.

I don't understand what you mean by "special names in the elements
like __legend__".

The child object that is the legend is a special kind of axes object
that has the "Tag" property set to legend.  So when the object is
drawn, I suppose that if it is necessary, it could be handled
specially based on the "Tag" property.
