Access button properties in js

Describe the Feature you'd Like

It would be nice if one could parameterize a button and pass that to the .js that's being executed.

E.g.:

meta-bind-button
style: default
label: MyButton
myProperty: propertyValue
action:
  type: "js"
  file: myJS.js

And then enable myJS.js to access the value of myProperty (or all properties of the button) somehow, such that one can easily provide a functionality by JS and configure it via parameter. Currently, this is not possible as the button that called the .js is not passed. One can access the properties of all buttons somehow via the general context, but this would make it problematic if there is more than one button in the related note.

Extra properties on buttons are not allowed, but I can pass the parsed button config as a read-only object to the JS file.

[finnBsch]

I see, but that would not allow me to pass custom parameters, since that would require extra properties, right? Or is there a property for extra stuff?

[mProjectsCode]

hmmm, i could also add a property called params to the js action and pass whatever that is to the script.

Sounds good - I think this adds lots of functionality and flexibility.

I am happy to help with that, too, if I can!
