You might find it more obvious to push and pull to lists and use the distance from puller that is standard in the item, fixed resource and task executer list types. Lists also don't restrict you on which token can push to a list.
That said, when you use a query to choose a resource the resource uses the list behind it as described here - and you can add field via the advanced tab:
The problem with this is that the puller is predefined as the token and not the object to which you want to find the distance and so some rewriting of the distance expression is needed to use a label on the puller.
@jason.lightfoot Thanks makes sense pushing to the list. So just to understand this, the distance is just based of the coordinates of the object and the resource right?
Yes, unless you know it's an AGV for example in which case you could alter it to be the distance between control points.
