API functionality question

[atticusmatticus]

Hi, I've been using your API for a while now and I haven't been able to find a solution to a functionality I'd like to add to my workflow. Is there a way to make an item where activating the item will run whatever code is in the arg but not quit Alfred entirely, instead return the Alfred screen to the keyword state.

So for example: my keyword to start my Alfred workflow is key. is there a way to select an item and run it key item_string and then after the argument is run by pressing enter have the Alfred window return to key so that the effect of running that item can be seen?

The reason I ask this is because I find myself activating a particular item key item_string a lot and then immediately after firing up Alfred again to check how a particular status changed. Being able to automate this would be awesome.
