Add -Value switch to Get-UDElement #1994

Closed MikeShepard closed 1 year ago

MikeShepard commented 1 year ago

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

As a developer, 9 times out of 10 when I use Get-UDElement, I'm doing that to get the value.

Instead of (Get-UDElement -id TheElement).Value, I'd like to be able to do Get-UDElement -ID TheElement -Value, avoiding the need for extra parentheses.

this is similar to Get-Variable, which has a -ValueOnly switch.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

If -Value is present, output the value property only.

I might suggest a -Property parameter instead. If we make it positional, it will still have the shortened syntax you're looking for. 

Get-UDElement -Id myElement -Property value
Get-UDElement myElement value

Either way works, just needing a parenthesised expression is too much.
