| GetFirstOfType | Walks up the hierarchy, starting from this element, and returns the first VisualElement of this type |
| GetFullHierarchicalPersistenceKey | Combine this VisualElement's VisualElement.persistenceKey with those of its parents to create a more unique key for use with VisualElement.GetOrCreatePersistentData. |
| GetOrCreatePersistentData | Takes a reference to an existing persisted object and a key and returns the object either filled with the persisted state or as-is. |
