Executing a subroutine from JavaScript

Questions & Suggestions
1

Hi community. We have the following entry in KM Engine scripting dictionary:

doScript method : Execute a macro or action.

doScript text : The name of macro, UID of macro, or plist of action to execute.

[withParameter: text] : A parameter to the macro (in the %TriggerValue% token)

Is it possible to execute a subroutine in a similar way ?

If you set up a simple macro which calls a subroutine, and copy that macro (or the Execute Subroutine action itself) as XML, (KM Editor -> Edit -> Copy As -> Copy As XML), you will see the kind of XML that would need to be passed to .doScript.
