Shell Command Inputs - Lookup Type linked to Lookup Attributes on the Shell

[Quali-Community]

Now that the API supports the ability to update lookup values for attributes, and this is being used for Discovery/App building, I would like to be able to have/extend similar functionality to a Command Input.

This would allow for a Command's input to be dynamic updated - possible based on updates that occur. Example may be to inquire about specific services/configuration options enabled or deployed to that device. Or to Enable or Disable similar - you would update the "Enable" & "Disable" list as you turn on or off a service/feature for a device.
This would require a custom attribute be added to handle this data for the command, but that information has to be stored somewhere, and we have

In the Drivermetadata.xml, I would like to be able to list the Type as "Attribute" and maybe the "AllowedValue" as the FamilyName.AttributeName
Example:

<Command DisplayName="Get NSO Services Info" Name="request_NSO_service_detail"
         Description="Get details about an NSO service deployed to this device">
    <Parameters>
        <Parameter DisplayName="Service Name" Type="Attribute" Mandatory="False" 
                   Name="command_name" AllowedValue="FamilyName.AttributeName"
                   Description="Select a service deployed to this resource"/>
    </Parameters>
</Command>

There are probably more possibilities that I'm not thinking of, but just allowing the drivermetadata.xml to display a lookup attribute gives us some possibilities.
