Description of the new feature/enhancement

The ability to declare variables in one pane or tab and call them from another. This might be difficult/impossible across different types of pane instances (e.g. one PowerShell and one bash), but at least for panes that are the same type.

A user could use this for a multi-pane set up where one is for live data that sets a variable as it continuously runs and the other pane is used for any quick analytics on the most recent variable declaration.

This could be accessed by the tab/pane ID or name along with the variable. Something like a declaration of variable $users in Tab-2. Then in Tab-1 someone could call Tab-2.$users and retrieve the data set in Tab-2.
