Decision Task -> Link to object's default Display method

Hey Mike, how's life treating you?
I never noticed that you cannot get container from an attached object.
I never tried anything more than display t-code with key from a Decision Task.
Yes, I have a Z object and already redefined the method.
If I have values passed in, use them. If no container, do my code.
No biggie.
Thanks,
Rick
