OK, another question related to the previous one: why is it that I can use the Automation API to retrieve "ordinary" values from a stack's output (i.e., a simple `String` instead of a `StringOutput`)? And is there a way (seems like I tried it and it didn't work) to use the Automation API methods/functions inside a stack's code?
