Reference Event appears to only allow data and XML fields

When configuring a Reference Event I noticed that it only allows me to populate the input and output parameters with data or XML fields.  I can't use Workflow Context items or SharePoint content exposed as a SmartObject. 


I experienced this in Beta 2 as well.  Currently the workaround appears to be to use the Data Event to first copy data to a data or xml field but this seems like needless extra work since every other event wizard can access workflow context and smartobject properties.


Is this a bug that will be fixed?

Closing out this thread. 


I ended up submitting a support ticket and the response is that its by design.  The workaround is to first bring the data into process data or xmlfields and then use those fields in the Reference event wizard.
