API - Make Area Type elements more accessible

The Area Type property of an Area is stored as an element that has no identifying properties. No name and no category.  They can only be found by using GetDependentElements on an area scheme.   

 

The request is to make these more identifiable through name, parameter, and/or category.

 

A workaround that uses transactions can be found in this API Forum post:  https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/set-area-type-property-of-area-element/td-p/10946478

While this does work, its not the most elegant solution that we could have.

It would be very beneficial to be able to establish a project specific list of area types for each Area Scheme.

Even to just be able to translate the text to another language.
