Extra Values are arbitratry values that can be appended to the default set of values supplied by each trigger. To add these values, select the desired trigger and from the extra value view, and click the '+' button for each value to be added. To remove an Extra Value, select the extra value settings box and click the '-' button. Select the type of value from the popup menu in the top right corner of each Extra Value settings box.

[edit] Proposed Values

• URL

• grab with applescript

It would be nice if we could set an extra value to get the result of an extra field. For example, I would like to set a keypress trigger, to delete the current playing track from iTunes (done with an Applescript task) and display the title of the track deleted (with a screen message or growl notification). So I would need to get an extra value with an applescript that get the current track of itunes for the display.
