Trying to obtain list of Connection Aliases

Hi

 

I'd like to populate a macro dropdown interface with the list of connection aliases that the user has saved, is this possible?

 

Cheers

These are stored in the users roaming profile as an Xml file.

 

Is easy enough to read that into flow and get connection list. Only real trick is reading the environment variable to find roaming path and then find alias file in there.
