Feature request: add variable that takes keyboard input

Talk, speculate, discuss, pontificate. As long as it pertains to Hazel.

I have ONE rule that recognizes a class of scanned documents but has no way of distinguishing between types within the class.
For a RENAME, it would be helpful to have a variable object that would take keyboard input as the rule is running so the user could modify filename content at the time of rename.

Search the forums as I believe someone has come up with an AppleScript to do just that.

Did you ever find a way to pull this off Paulhubert?

Did you find an applescript to pull it off??

Exactly this is on my mind too.
thanks in advance
