Hi

I’d like to the the address path of the view when we are inside the view itself.  
For example I have button that run a script, in that script is like to know the view address path of the parent container.

Too sad we doesn’t have this feature.  
There are a lot of things we can do with this.

Maybe you could make a custom parameter and manually paste the address in as a stopgap. Kind of defeats the purpose, but at least you could relativize to that.
