How to get the item from Execute Sub Flow

I wanted to run some complicated logic in a Send To Port trigger of a 3D object so I thought I'd use the Execute Sub Flow option:

But in the subflow, how can I get a reference to the item? I guess I could make the item the instance object and find the current from that but that doesn't really sound like the way it's supposed to work.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.2.3

I found the magic checkbox! The trick is to use an Event Triggered Source and check Will Override Return Value. That allows you to capture the event parameters and specify the trigger result in the Finish activity.
