Description

As a user I like to be able to reference (use) data from the previous activities in my current activity.

- [ ] Display an activity tree with previous activities in the activity options. Based on the [display activity result data task](https://github.com/elsa-workflows/elsa-core/issues/674)
- [ ] Allow the user to browse through the activity tree and copy a path `{{ activity:Webhook.output.label }}`
- [ ] Parse the activity options for inserted paths and replace the path expression with the result on runtime

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked “display activity result data” issue (#674) and the activity options and runtime-expression areas mentioned here. Done means previous activities are browsable, a result path such as {{ activity:Webhook.output.label }} can be inserted, and the path resolves to the prior result at runtime.
