Hello,  
I have this issue that i need to solve. I have created a custom node as in the example from the website. How ever is it possible to add button or input field to the nodes properties,like "Name" , "Server-Configuration" here, in the picture below, which would have a value which is transferred from a selection made on another webpage.

For Example from the image above,

```auto
1. Click the select Value button
2. Upon button press should open another webpage, which would have the selector.
3. Select a value from the external webpage, and the reflected value be placed in the x value field.

```

Is something like this possible. Upon my initial research, found these,

- can embed an iframe but the information communication will be severed (for security reasons)
- can use the UI- Dashboard feature install package add a link from the right or use a ui-template node to load the page  
as a webpage and the user would have to copy paste the value in the x-value field.

Is it possible any other way? I really feel that way is not really intuitive.

Any help is appreciated.  
Thanks.
