Item Asset Upgrades:

You can now use rich text in your item descriptions, and add more context actions. Right now blueprint actions are supported in the following format:

Actions 1
Action_0_Type Blueprint
Action_0_Blueprints 1
Action_0_Blueprint_0 // [Index]
Action_0_Blueprint_0_Link // [Present if the blueprint should be linked to.]
Action_0_Text // [Button Name]
Action_0_Tooltip // [Button Tooltip]
Action_0_Key // [If no name/tooltip, use this translation key e.g. Repair]

If no actions are available the game will automatically add some for repairing, refilling and salvaging.
