How to retrieve the GameplayEvent payload from a GameplayAbility trigger?
When using Unreals GameplayAbilitySystem, a GameplayAbility can be triggered using a GameplayEvent.
When using UAbilityTask_WaitGameplayEvent, the GameplayEvent provides a payload of class FGameplayEventData.

Is it possible to retrieve such an event payload also from within a GameplayAbility, after it is activated by a trigger of type GameplayEvent?

A solution either in Blueprint or C++ would be fine.
