Watchtower - Multiple Buys equals multiple gains?

In the Watchtower wiki Official Rules it states '... You may reveal Watchtower whether you gained the card due to buying it...'

Does that mean if a player has multiple buys, for each 'buy' that player can 're-reveal' the Watchtower card and decide whether to '...to either trash that card or put it onto your deck...'?

Additionally, if I buy a card that has a 'Trashing' effect, do I get the effect of the card that I just gained?  Example: Urchin, can I immediately trash the Urchin to get the Mercenary?

To your first question: yes.

To your second question: no.

You can't get a Mercenary by trashing a gained Urchin with Watchtower because Urchin doesn't have a when-trashed effect. It's a when-you-play-an-attack-card-while-this-is-in-play effect, whose effect is trashing the Urchin and gaining a Mercenary if you did so.

However, if you gain a card like Feodum that has a true when-trashed effect, you can trash it with Watchtower to trigger the effect and get the Silvers.

On the other hand, if it's a card that actually does have a when-trashed effect (rats, fortress, squire, catacombs, sir vander, wow these are all from dark ages) then you DO get that effect. You could also then discard a market square for a gold.

EDIT: sniped by singletee's edit, and he thought of another card (feodum) with such an effect, also from dark ages; almost like trashing was a theme of that expansion.

EDIT2: Oh, and hunting grounds. There are more of these than I thought...

Cultist, Rocks, and Crumbling Castle also have an on-trash effect.

Cultist, Rocks, and Crumbling Castle also have an on-trash effect.

Out of interest, Rocks and Crumbling Castle both have when-gain and when-trashed effects.  Do you get both effects?  I believe the answer is yes.

Do you gain the card? Yes.
Do you trash the card? Yes.

It's unambiguous - both things happen, therefore you get both things.
