Chained App User Variables

Passing data to the next app running in a chain from the gallery varies from challenging to impossible. An impossible situation I've found is when the same user needs to run multiple instances of the app simultaneously. Very difficult is just allowing two different users to run simultaneously without risk of passed data mixing between the two.

 

This idea would add the capability to pass values from one app in the chain into user variables in the next app in the chain.

I like this idea @hroderick-thr! It would be great to pass data to the 2nd app without having to write it to a file.
