   Thanks for the contribution!
   The issues with expression language for addresses and having multiple 
addresses in that property were at the time:
   
   - Putting something complicated to write in a text field is poor for the user
   - The original didn't use json, but used special character substitution 
changing the native addresses which was a no-go
   - The addresses / returns need to have their PLC types resolved, and if the 
address could change _every_ call ( which you have to assume if you use 
expression language ) then it would be good to have some kind of caching so 
that it wasn't so costly every time, and the original PR did not provide that
   
   *This PR to land would have to address the caching issue*.  Having json 
addresses the "don't invent a custom addressing delimiter" issue.  We would 
just have to live with how poor writing complicated json in that UI would be ( 
or doing it external and cut and pasting it in)
