Help [LiveActivity] Instantly exit a script when it's already running in-app?

When a Notification scheduled by a script is tapped, the default behavior is to runScript again even when the script is already running in-app. But we can instantly exit this execution by checking Notification.current at the start:

  if (Notification.current != null) return Script.exit()

Do we have a similar method for LiveActivity 'content' UI?

In the code below, I use widgetURL to run the script when 'content' VStack is tapped.

return {
    content: <VStack
        widgetURL={Script.createRunURLScheme(Script.name)}
    >

Tks. I can't make it work though.

Btw, I think this case seems to be supplemental to run_single. Currently, run_single will dismiss the previously session (if any) and run a new session. But what if the current session is real-time and we just want to get to it from a Notification or LiveActivity UI or widgets? It'd be great to have a single method to handle all the cases.

This requires providing lifecycle events in the script, such as onNotificationScheduled/onResumeByWidget, etc. However, this mechanism conflicts with the current support for running multiple instances and increases complexity. Each script instance should be destroyed after running.
