uib_is_running in Architect?

When working on code in AppBuilder, it was common for us to use the uib_is_running preprocessor to alter our definitions when we ran a dialog or window from the AppBuilder. For example, instead on input parameters, we would have variables with useful default values.

Is there a way to get similar functionality when running code using the Run button in Architect? I realize we can still run appBuilder programs from the AppBuilder but would like to have something available directly in Architect.

Thanks,

Tom
