Ability to reference a parameter's name within the parameter expression box

I just realised that within a parameter expression box, we don’t have the ability to reference the parameter’s name without hardcoding it. In my specific case, I want to fetch a parameter from a stored object in the parent. I have to type:

me.parent().fetch("file")

If i want to fetch the file parameter from the stored object. However, assuming that the stored object has the correct naming scheme, it would be nice to be able to write:

me.parent().fetch(this.par.name)

or something similar.

Use me.par.curPar inside of parameter expression to get the, as the name suggests, currently evaluated parameter. So in your case it would be

parent().fetch( me.curPar.name) (i think you can even ommit the me. an shorten it to parent().fetch( curPar.name )

Incredible, thanks @plusplusone!
