  I want to create a CWA that passes & returns the RegardingObjectID of an Activity, ParentCustomerId of Contact and CustomerId of Incident (Case). All of these are EntityReference attributes, so according to the MSDN docs a ReferenceTargetAttribute needs to be specified. But what entity do you use? Customer can be account or contact, whilst regardingobjectid can link to a whole range of entities.

  The Docs say that only 1 RegardingObjectId can be specified, but clearly we don't know in advance the entity name & we don't want to restrict our CWA to just one of the entity types.

  So is it impossible to develop a CWA passing these 2 types of attributes?

  You could hack around in the workflow for account/contact, but not for regardingobjectid.
