How to get issue id with using Forge Custom UI?

As far as I now you can get information like the issueKey only in the backend when using Custom UI. Define a function like so:

resolver.define('fooFunction', async (req) => {
    const {projectId, issueKey} = req.context.extensionContext;
    return issueKey
});

and retrieve it in the web-client:

const issueKey = await invoke('fooFunction', {});

I guess this will become easier in near future when Atlassian allows us to use the AP object from Custom UI.
