Well, I once put together an attribute trait that creates default subs 
(the discussion of which took place on this very list[1]), so I don't 
see any reason you couldn't do the same with triggers.  Of course, then 
the trick is, is adding a trait to every attribute any better than 
adding a trigger to every attribute?  Perhaps you could get around that 
by doing something to the metaclass, or perhaps your attributes 
_already_ all have a trait that you can piggyback on (I wasn't quite 
clear on that part).

Anyway, I hope that discussion has something useful in it, particularly 
what I ended up with for my final solution.[2]  I've used that pattern a 
few times over the past few years.
