href as action does not carry over parameters

I would like to hand over a parameter (id) from one view to the next when clicking on a button like this: Both version however don’t work:

{
  "type": "button",
  "style": {
  "height": "20"
  },
  "url": "file://image.png",
  "action": {
  "type": "$href",
  "options": {
  "url": "file://some-local-json.json"
   },
   "id": "1234567"
}

{
  "type": "button",
  "style": {
  "height": "20"
  },
  "url": "file://image.png",
  "action": {
  "type": "$href",
  "options": {
  "url": "file://some-local-json.json"
  "id": "1234567"
   } 
}

The version that does work is this one, which is however not usable in my setup, since I would also like to implement the $ok two-way communication:

{
"type": "label",
"text": "Open view",
 "href": {
   "url": "file://some-local-json.json",
   "options": {
   "id": "1234567"
    }
  }
}

@clsource I’m not sure what the blog post you mentioned has to do with this? I also don’t really understand the point about sandboxing where views all share a common global dictionary, that’s not really how sandboxing works. But regardless you originally closed this issue suggestion people not use the options and instead put their parameters into the $global dictionary, and I responded that that’s not a very good user experience. Now you’re suggesting that we use the parameter passing mechanism that mexophantes wanted all along. Letting two views manipulate a global variable is a very bad suggestion, it’s just bad software engineering. The right way is to follow the traditional stack method, which is what $href does, pass by value (not reference), then return by value (with $ok). The problem is that mexophantes says this does not work with href actions, but does with $href. I haven’t tried this to know since I’m passing values around using only $href, but at least now I think we’re all in agreement that we shouldn’t be communicating between views using $global variables.

Here is an example of using $href with params

{
  "type": "$href",
  "options": {
    "url": "https://jasonbase.com/things/3fj.json",
    "options": {
      "firstName": "Bart",
      "lastName": "Simpson"
    }
  }
}
