I agree with "Not exactly". In this post
http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2014/09/22/Showing-what-data-went-into-a-code-block-on-export/
I did something where I wanted to get information about the variables
passed into a block and show that on export. You might get some
inspiration from that. The result is at
