Trying not to get too far into problem solving mode but was curious why 
this couldn't just be handled within existing dialogs.
For example, I launch a creation dialog for AutomationRequests...the 
dialog first provides you with a list of plans to select, or it is 
prefilled/selected based on the URL found in the dialog descriptor.

Just curious why this approach doesn't work.  I've seen other 
domains/tools do something similar (not for automation) but when they need 
to first select then create.
