Accessing Query String Parameters
While the editbeforehook functions are being called, the query strings are available through the following function and methods:
ACL: get_custom_property()
AOM: Application.getCustomProperties().getString()
After the hook functions have all been called, the query string values are no longer available. To access a query string parameter, you prefix the parameter name with the following value before calling get_custom_property() or Application.getCustomProperties().getString():
com.ptc.arbortext.launcher.temp.
For example, to access the workspace parameter in the following example link:
arbortext-editor:x-wc%3A%2F%2Ffile%3D1234.xml?workspace=ws1&hosturl=http%3A%2F%2Fpjl%2FWindchill
You could use the following ACL code:
local value = get_custom_property('com.ptc.arbortext.launcher.temp.workspace');
You could also use the following AOM code:
String value = Application.getCustomProperties().getString("com.ptc.arbortext.launcher.temp.workspace");
If there is no such query parameter, then an empty string is returned for ACL and a null is returned for AOM.
* 
The values returned are the fully decoded string values. If a link contained the following query string parameter:
hosturl=http%3A%2F%2Fpjl%2FWindchill
The following value would be returned:
http://pjl/Windchill
