Retrieve data from dynamic Key/Value pair

Hi!

I am hoping someone has a solution. I am trying to retrieve information from an object which is created dynamically in the flow based on the choice of a user. They are presented with 1-5 options based on a filter query of a separate list. Each option has unique ID and I am trying to be able to retrieve information from each key/value pair individually to continue the flow.

I can build a string that if entered into an expression would give me the value. But I do not know if there is a way to have the string I build actually retrieve the information.

The VenueID variable is used to create the object and give it a unique key from an Input field.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. I can also try to explain what I am looking to do more if it isn't clear.

Thanks!

Please enter the string as an expression:
The expression

outputs('Compose_10')?[concat('name-',variables('VenueID'))]

should produce the following output:

Thanks! I had been putting the brackets on the inside of the concat() expression right after the '?'. Thanks for the help!
