I'd like to be able to do the following. In my application (not Orbeon Forms) a user selects an entity then the user decides to fill a particular form related to the entity and clicks on a button that, for example, opens the form in Orbeon FormRunner. I'd like to be able to pass the entity ID to the FormRunner so when form data is saved/submitted the entity ID is saved/submitted with the form data.  I'd like to establish associations between Orbeon Forms form data instances and instances of entities in another application.

Is it possible to invoke FormRunner new form with passing some id that can be retrieved on saving?

For example, in according to Wiki documentation "Form Builder - Integration Notes and Persistence Layer" it is possible to use the following URL for new empty form:
/fr/[APPLICATION_NAME]/[FORM_NAME]/new

I'd like to be able to add a parameter (for example, /fr/[APPLICATION_NAME]/[FORM_NAME]/new/[ENTITY_ID]) to the URL that can be retrieved on saving,

I am new to Orbeon Forms. I am trying to understand if our company can use Orbeon Forms. I have looked through the user's guide, and Wiki and searched the mailing list but I have not found any answer to my question. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Oleg
