SSH plugin "Run SSH command" workflow does not allow for selecting a SSH:Host

Just curious if the "Run SSH Command" is supposed to allow for an SSH:Host to be selected?  The verbiage suggests that it does (see attached screen shot).  I'm getting ready to revamp some of our workflows that rely on SSH and wanted to make use of the SSH:Host objects.  I find it curious that I don't see any use of these objects anywhere in the default workflows and actions.

SSH for as long as I can remember have accepted FQDN or IP to connect to the host in the OOB workflows. Now you can clone that one and change code to ask and accept SSH:Host as the value but as for the OOB workflow I think VMware was trying to make it work with little change or setup out of the box

Thats cool but the verbiage should be changed then for two reasons A) you can't select from a list and B) there is a typo "ot" instead of "to".

There are a handful of typos in the vRealize Orchestrator platform and VMware-provided plugins.

Manually typing in the hostname has worked fine for me.
