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

Contributor guide
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.
