  In your calling template you do something like:
  {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.file link_text='Download'}
  Then in your attribute template you can access this variable by doing something like:
  {$link_text}

If you are displaying the image datatype (not objectrelation as the normal article class contains) you have the possiblility to set the size with image_class. Like this:
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.myimage image_class='large'}
Where the sizes are defined in image.ini.

 I was at first annoyed with this automatic feature, but I sort of 'tricked' it:
 created CSS and in belonging style class for this specific tag, i set
 margin: 0px;
 this elegantly removed unnecessary space which has by default.

  Hi,
  You can't use attribute_view_gui with shorten operator. Depending of the datatype, having something like
```
$your_attribute.content|shorten( 20...)
```
  should do. However, if you want to keep the attribute_view_gui mechanism, you might consider customizing the template invoked with the attribute_view_gui operator by copying it in your design folder-path. (content/datatype/view/ezstring.tpl for example).
  Therefore you can pass any parameters you want provided you handle it in the template.
