Question: Options For History Description Using Tool Config

If you configure your tool using the xml config file it displays by
default the tool action on data nr in the history description. This is
useful but there are option to get more descriptive info in there.
Default for the sequence length example:
..
<outputs>
<data name="output" format="tabular"/>
</outputs>
..
Gives: 2: Compute sequence length on data 1
This can be altered to have something like a description having the
tool settings:
..
<outputs>
<data name="output" format="tabular" label="SEQLEN of
${query_type.value_label}"/>
</outputs>
..
Where you can reuse a specific selected value from the form entered by
the user.
Is there any documentation on this? The default tool_conf xml wiki has
no specific info on this.
I also noticed the use of .metadata in datasets to specify columns in
that data...
The specific I want to have for some of my tools is that the history
line shows the tool description and the sequence name chosen.
If I do:
..
<outputs>
<data name="output" format="tabular" label="SEQLEN of
${input1}"/>
</outputs>
..
I do get the sequence FILE name but with the complete not so
informative path. Showing the descriptive fasta header would be even
nicer....
Thanks
Alex
