TYPO3 Core

It would be nice to be able to pass certain data trough the action controller to the template via the variables section of the plugin settings.

Example:

plugin.tx_news {
    variables {
        cObjNumber = TEXT
        cObjNumber.data = cObj:parentRecordNumber
    }
}

This would allow us to add certain data, that is only needed in the template without writing a custom plugin, when we're actually satisfied with the plugin logic.
