Dynamically get Object property from user input

Anyone know how I can do this? I have an Actor (myactor) and I'd like to have an input box which the user can use to refer to any of its properties, by typing in a path (i.e. @data.abilities.str.proficiency). How can I get that property within my script after they type in the box? I'm thinking that I could use Autocomplete Inline Properties, but don't know if that does this.

🧵 myActor + "['data']" doesn't return myactor['data']. Instead, it returns "myactor['data']"

A form application I think that's the solution, thanks!

The input's value should be available as part of the _updateObject's parameters. One of those is all of the data of all of the nameed inputs in the <form> element of the formAppliation

I'm going to take a look at how that works in case I ever want to do this outside of Foundry

Here's similar from lodash: https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.15#get Must easier to read than lodash source: https://youmightnotneed.com/lodash/#get (welcome to recursion. please make yourself welcome to recursion. please make yourself welcome to recursi.....)
