I wouldn't see this as a particularly good use of a powerful contextual 
feature.   There are many tried and true ways of performing the same 
function using alternative methods.   You could do it of course, but I 
don't think that this use would justify the cost of the feature.

Integration with multistep workflow messaging would be a much more 
interesting (and powerful) use of such a feature.

Cheers.
