This function retrieves supplementary string information for the current event. The LuiEventExtra global is set by specific event handlers to provide text-based context data. Usage varies by control type: link controls populate it with the URL when clicked, file dialogs might store selected paths, etc. Not all events populate LuiEventExtra - check control-specific documentation. Use in conjunction with bgiGetEventMessage() and bgiGetEventID() to interpret the data correctly. When integer data is needed, use bgiGetEventData() instead.
