Feature Proposal: Add format parameter to URLPARAM

Motivation

I often have the need to write the value of a url param - only if that url param is passed. For instance: name - date in a bullet list. A common use case is CommentPlugin url param expansion.

Parameter options like FORMFIELD would fit URLPARAM as well.

Description and Documentation

• Add a format parameter to URLPARAM: %URLPARAM{"name_of_param" format="..."}%
• Default format is $value
• Expand the usual format tokens
• Add a alttext parameter in case no url param with the given name is passed

Discussion

this is similar and related to the ExtractAndCentralizeFormattingRefactor - we should thus be able to add format=, and presumably %FORMAT to most TML.
