Dictionary: Pass parameters from menu

Description

Integratio suggested to implement a way to pass parameters to windows/processes/etc from the menu definition

In a design meeting at Krefeld the following improvement was defined:

  • Create a context table with a free text field to be filled with context=value pairs separated by comma

  • Add ContextID and ZoomCondition to AD_Menu

  • When executing a menu option add that to context

This can enable for example having multiple menu options opening Sales Order window, but passing the Document Type as parameter.

I just see a problem that the context defined on menu won't be caught by the zoom feature, so, in principle these windows cannot be used for zooming, or at least won't work as expected.
