Perhaps a question for the more advanced, out there, and not really expecting much of (if any) response, but wondered if anyone had a shortcut to get JSON schema definitions that you have defined via a reference to be usable in the Power Automate or Logic Apps GUI.
 
So, if I create a property like this:
 
I should be able to use that to 'pick' the data from that Parse JSON action.
 ...
However, the reality is far from this truth.
