pass Pushbutton Value via Action Launch Point to autoscript

In Application Designer, a Pushbutton can be associated with an Action, and from there to an Automation Script, by setting the Pushbutton's Event to the name of a Signature Option that has been configured to be invoked by a user in the UI. A Pushbutton also has a Value property that can be set to any string of characters the developer chooses.

When a Pushbutton which has been given a Value has been associated with an Action, and that Action invokes an Automation Script, the Value from the Pushbutton should be passed on by the Action to the Automation Script as an Implicit Variable.

As a result, scripts would be more reusable.

    Real world example. I have a custom app based on PERSON with different subtabs / tables showing data from different objects. On each table are Pushbuttons for updating PERSON references on the object. So, for the WORKORDER object / UI-table, I would have several buttons -- all associated with 1 sig option / Event but each with a different Value for indicating which PERSON reference to update (LEAD, SUPERVISOR, etc).

    Without this feature, I have to complicate my design. I can have a Sig Option / Event + Action + Launch Point per PERSON reference, which is ugly for the developer and security admin. Or I can have multiple tables of WORKORDER with "smart" relationship names that the script can parse, which is ugly for the user and the developer.
