#Input Button with value

Anyone aware of an input button that has a value?

My use case is I have a display with icons on it, each one would trigger a different album on my kids smart speaker. Rather then using multiple input buttons attached to different automations that are all the same other then the album value I would like a single usable automation that would just grab the album uri from the button value.

Is this possible or am I think about it the wrong way?

buttons don't have values, you might want to look at the dropdown helper

Was hoping there might be a HACS option

you can create the input dropdown and a button, and in your UI when button is pressed, select next dropdown and use this as an event

The dashboard is actually an nspanels with custom firmware so it needs to be a button entity
