The idea
A property, or prop, is an object handled on stage. The glossary has no headword. A prop in a printed extract is always significant, because a writer who bothered to specify an object had a reason, and the reason is usually visible in what is said around it.
In practice
A specified object is always significant.
Where people slip
The reason sits in the nearby speech.
