so i came up with a round-about way of doing this. i call a function at the beginning of a macro to write that macro path to a temp file. then another macro can read it and execute it. yay me

When executing a macro file, we can use the project variable to record the path of the macro.

like this:

if not member($project._keys,'fullname') {
EDIT PAR CREATE STRING 'fullname'
}

$project.fullname = macro_path(TRUE)

These need to be written inside the file.

I hope I can help you.

thanks for the input, @Anonymous . However, I'm looking to be able to access that macro across multiple sessions.
