Yes -- there will be a drop-down menu on the property panel that lets you
select arbitrary inputs from the pipeline browser the produce the supported
data types.

Unfortunately, it looks like there will still be some hoop-jumping needed
for multicolored glyphs. The glyph mapping engine doesn't support
multicolored glyphs at the moment, since it doesn't fit well with the
current coloring logic in vtk/paraview's glyphing.
