Is there a way to use the INPUT() to make "Data: add a new row to another table..." take user input?

I'm trying to get a barcode number after a user uses a the out of the box search bar to search for an item by name. When they find the item they can click it and see the details. Once there I want them to be able to click a button to fill out a form with the barcode Id field already fill out from the knowledge of that search. I stumbled onto INPUT() from this article on it   but because the data from the form is in a separate table than the one for the items it feels like creating a action with "Data: add a new row to another table using values from this row" is my only option. When trying to use INPUT() it doesn't prompt the user for anything and instead takes the initial value from the formula.

Is there a way to make INPUT() work like the article link while also using "Data: add a new row to another table using values from this row" the way I want?

No way.

I recommend to you use the action "Go to another view within this app..."

And in target use de function LINKTOFORM(form-view-name, [column-name1, column-value1, column-name2, column-value2, ...], [app-id: TEXT])

You can create previously a Form View customized just for required data or use the preestablished one.
