Greetings,

I have a process that is going to generate dozens of output files, each of which I want to retain as a data repository that will be leveraged by other downstream tools. I could just point the downstream tool at the directory, and it'll know what to look for, rather than to have to list each output file as a separate parameter.

Is it possible to do this in Galaxy? And is there a best practice (or example) for it?

thanks!
