In Panels and Minipanels you can add custom independent contexts such as a fixed node, a taxonomy term from Spaces, a file, etc. For Panels this is useful if you want to add elements of said items into a page even though the URL contains (seemingly) unrelated arguments.

In Path breadcrumbs I recognize the same UI as Panels, but I am missing the ability to add custom contexts. I need this functionality because I am using Spaces to divide my website into subsites and I would like the breadcrumb to show which Space you're in. The module provides an "active space" context that I would need to be able to use in PB.

For now I can alter the property metadata for "site" and access it through the %site token, but ideally you should be able to add contexts that are not retrieved from the current path.

Version: 7.x-3.3 » 7.x-3.x-dev

Thanks for your request!
This is exactly what I would like to see in the next big release. It's absolutely possible to implement, but we haven't even created an issue for it yet. Let it be a starting point.
