[ROFI-SCRIPT] $ROFI_INFO for custom entries.

[2001herne]

Currently, Rofi's script mode (rofi-script) allows the setting of an info variable for preset rows. This is useful for passing information back to the next iteration of the script. However, Rofi also allows users to enter custom entries that do not appear on the preset list. Currently, there does not appear to be a way to attach an info variable to these custom entries. My own personal thoughts are that this might get set along with the mode options (i.e.echo -en "\0custom-info\x1fsome_info_here\n), alongside the prompt, message text, etc.

What is the use-case for this?

[2001herne]

Originally I thought the first, but now that I'm thinking further, the second would probably be more useful, as row-specific data and general state data could be better separated. I have noticed that I'm repeating a lot of the info between rows currently.

I think Ill add an option to pass data from one execution to the next via a header, sounds like a decent plan.

Thanks for the help.
