Get a Google Sheet File ID or URL?

I've been playing with the Directory tool, Google Sheet and Google Drive input connectors and it seems like Alteryx is only interested in referring to Google Sheets files via a 'traditional' file path and file name.

 

I have some Google Apps Scripting and other Google Functions which use the unique file ID or url. This is super useful because a file can be moved or even renamed yet it will keep its file unique ID.

 

So my question is, does anyone know a way that Alteryx can retrieve the Google sheet ID?

OK so when I attach an action tool to the Google Drive tool the ID is showing as a paramater:

How would I go about grabbing this for a set of files in a location, similar to directory tool?
