Workflow Notification Robot Email Attachments Enhancement

Enhancement Request - I would like to send a Windchill document to someone merely for review and approval (i.e. Directors, VP's, etc...) without them having to log in to Windchill for a myriad of reasons.

 

The solution PTC has designed to send the Primary Business Object (PBO) as an email attachment from a workflow task is completely unusable because attaching the PBO to an email will only occur if the "recipient(s)" are non-Windchill users AND these non-Windchill user email addresses are hard-coded into the workflow task:

How would this work in the real world?  How would you change the recipient distribution? If you provide me the ability to send the PBO as an attachment in my workflow notification robot:

..then don't turn around and make it unusable by requiring hard-coded email addresses in the workflow robot!  Send the PBO as an attachment (if this option is selected in the Attachments tab) to the Role indicated in the Recipients list:

If I have this wrong, please share with the group how your current solution was intended to work.
