  We investigate the feasibility of studying in-medium properties of the
$\omega$ meson in photoproduction experiments via the decay
$\omega\rightarrow\pi^0\gamma$. We use the GiBUU transport model to compare
different methods of obtaining in-medium information, such as the invariant
mass spectrum, transparency ratio, excitation function and momentum spectrum.
We show that the final-state interaction of the pion poses a major obstacle for
the interpretation of the invariant mass spectrum. The other three observables
turn out to be fairly independent of final-state interactions and thus can give
access to the $\omega$'s in-medium properties.
