Accessing context in htmlScreenMactoLibrary templates macros

Hi Devs!
Is there a way to access the context in the template macros that are defined
in the htmlScreenMacroLibrary.ftl file?

I mean, as far as I can see, all widget templates defined in
htmlScreenMacroLibrary.ftl only access variables that are passed as macro
parameters.
How can I access something different like <@ofbizUrl> or
${setRequestAttribute("portalPageId", portalPageId)}?.

Thank you for any help on this.
What I am trying to do is to proceed with
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3625

Thank you Scott.
You are right! I should move more things in the renderer and have only the
html in the macro.

Hi Bruno,

Macros only have access to the parameters that are passed in.

Have you considered only handling the html portion in the macro and doing the screen render in the renderer?
