Description

Would be really handy being able to read the values defined in a pack configuration file directly from a workflow definition; at the moment the only way I found to use configuration values in a workflow is to add the needed values in the output of an action and then publish them in the workflow'...in this way works but is not really a clean solution.

Research direction

Start by tracing how pack configuration files and workflow definitions are parsed, then compare that with the current path through action outputs and published values. Define what direct configuration access should look like in a workflow and verify that the resulting behavior is covered for both configuration values and workflow execution.
