PDG : passthrough output files through hdaprocessor

[VBesson]

Hey !
Newbie question I guess :
In a top network, 2 hdaprocessor follow each other.
1st hdaprocessor writes multiple output files.
I would like the 2nd hdaprocessor to only affect the 1st outputfiles, and passthrough the others.
How can I do that ?

I saw this topic already : https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/86463/
But I can't apply this method as I have more than 1 workitem on my node, then filepaths have ID in the name and I don't know how to retrieve that.
Furthermore,  zdesir's method seems unconventional to me, if I understand it right. Indeed, they set "$PDG_DIR/geo/opinput(".", 0).0.bgeo.sc" as output file path, whereas the default output file path automatically written when creating an hdaprocessor TOP is $PDG_DIR/geo/$OS.`@pdg_name`.0.bgeo.sc, and I wonder what implies removing this `@pdg_name`b here.

Also this method seems unscalable to me, i.e for cases when default TOPs or switch TOP are present between hdaprocess1 hdaprocessor 2, making the expression more an more convoluted as hdaprocess is not the direct parent but the result of a logic chain.
