You hit a "flaw" in the current setup :) Where do you want to define
that gallery-coll-title? Currently, the proper solution is in .configxml
as a parameter to the plugin setup, but that's not very userfriendly...
Properties are only on collection or resource level, we can't define a
different property set for different collections, that's an all or
nothing solution currrently.

What we need is to have something like the properties for plugins on a
collection basis. Meaning, we should be able to give properties to a
plugin in a collection. Like you would do if you add plugin-parameters
in .configxml, just userfriendly :) We need some methods for that
(besides the UI interface), so that a plugin easily can ask for them.

Maybe we just can store them in the properties table (I don't see why
not) and then just use the general bx_resourcemanager::getProperty
method (with some own namespaces per plugin, maybe). Still some things
to define those properties and a plugin-property editor is needed.

Do you have any ideas, how this could be solved? Or how did you want to
solve it?
