Extend Hyperlinq() feature

psommer

It is possible to extend functionality with Action of Hyperlinq class for "new Hyperlinq((value) => {...}, ...)" in some new (beta) version? This would be great for comfortable interactive dumps..

How would this work? Would it be like new Hyperlinq (() => Util.ReadLine ("test").Dump(), "test")?

I know I can do it this way. But this is not exactly what I mean.. What I am talking about is this:

var html1 = "<script>
  function button1_Click() {
    var value1 = JSON
      .stringify({
      text1: document
      .getElementById('text1')
      .value,
      text2: document
      .getElementById('text2')
      .value
    });

    window
      .external
      .RunUserAction(0,
value1,
      false);
  }
</script>
<div>
<label for='text1'>
  Text #1:
</label>
<input type='text' id='text1' />
</div>
<div>
<label for='text2'>
  Text #2:
</label>
<input type='text' id='text2' />
</div>
<div>
<button onclick='button1_Click();'>
  Test #1
</button>
</div>
<hr/>";

Util
  .RawHtml("<style> a.hidden { display: none; }</style>")
  .Dump();

(new Hyperlinq((value) => { ... JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<SomeType>(value); ... }, ".")
  {
    CssClass = "hidden"
  }).Dump();

Util
  .RawHtml(html1)
  .Dump();

This way would be possible to build complex html forms to gather some LINQPad query parameters (for example) directly in results pane.. And I am pretty sure, that many LINQPad users would appreciate this feature.

PS: If there will be option to identify Hyperlinq action with some string Id too (not only position) then the call from html could be ..RunUserAction('myAction1'...) and this will be really cool
