Greetings.

Currently, the **LOOPER v3.1** custom widget allows to loop over a list of Text values. To do so, it defines a _Loop Action_ event of type Text. By default:

1. A _Loop Action_ section appears in the right sidebar.
2. The text value is accessed in expressions via `@Event.` (although this should probably be `@Event.Loop Action` but I wrote a ticket for this).
3. The text value is also available via dropdown lists with _Event_ \> _Loop Action_.

While this works, I find this quite unintuitive and not very readable to access the **item** of the list being looped on by accessing _Loop Action_. I would suggest to either:

- **A) Change the type of the Loop Action event** from Text to Object with useful properties, like _List item_ (Text) and _List item index_ (Integer).
- or **B) Rename the event** to _Read list item_ or something, but I find that unclear and don’t like that solution.

I find solution A much better (and I think it should potentially be a documented good practice when coding custom widgets since it allows to differentiate the event itself from the data it returns).
