Lua dropdown onclick function

[Resike]

How can you make a function which passes an argument when you click on something in the dropdown menu?

Like:
info.func = PVPSound_OptionsSetAddonLanguageOne(text)

function PVPSound_OptionsSetAddonLanguageOne(something)
--
end

[zork]

info.func = self.click --self is the dropdown menu

Under your dropdown creation you just define your click function.

--dropdownmenu
local dropdownMenu = createBasicDropDownMenu()
dropdownMenu.click = function(self)
  PVPSound_OptionsSetAddonLanguageOne(self.value)
end

I'm doing it this way for the oUF_Diablo config panel:

I would like to pass custom values not the info.value.

I found this workaround:

info.func = function(self)
	PVPSound_OptionsSetSoundPackOne("lolimastring")
end

function PVPSound_OptionsSetSoundPackOne(ohrlly)
--
end

Aren't there some .argX for passing other arguments to your .func?

Yep, but thats pretty limited too, and only allows 2 arguments.

Do argX have a limitation on the type passed?
Passing a table might be an option of getting more arguments there.

PS. I'm not suggesting a 'best' approach just exploring possibilities.
