I was working on this feature for the custom-wizards plugin and I wanted to fetch all the wizards.  
The key used is a string which is unique per wizard. This case was handled by fetching all the rows for the plugin and filtering them based on a for the `value` which is fine for small number of records but not ideal for a big plugin. It looks like plugin\_store\_rows is meant to store `settings-like` data for the plugin.

I personally think, this would open the idea of storing `non-settings` like data in the plugin\_store\_rows table.

(Forgive me if it sounds strange)
