Is there a way to dynamically specify the target or location of a package with scripting? Right now I have about 8 identical packages made, all of them pointing to a different location, and the script loads up whichever one it needs. I would rather have the script load up the same package every time, using a reference for a target that I can specify within the script. Is this possible?

You could have a single package pointing to an XMarker (look under Statics -- we use them everywhere).
