caller_nodes
While you can add callers with add_caller(), if the function caller is a Node, and is accessible in the scene tree where the Stage at, You can reference it directly in the inspector in caller_nodes. And the caller name/ID will use the node's name.
This approach is preferrable in such case. Not only that its more simpler compared to adding the caller through script(1), the caller Node will always be synced if it moved in the tree.
