External Tool / File in Editor [message #1866216]

Is there a way to insert an argument variable for an External Tool that references the file open in the editor? Right now I have to select a resource in the Project Explorer and am using "${resource_loc}" to pass it to my external tool (works great) but don't see a variable documented for the file open in the editor.

No, I don't think so. Maybe selection_resource_loc along with link with editor would work? There is selected_text so it ought not to be so hard to contribute something based on the editor's resource...
