capture popup feature attribute in pop action - arcgis-js-api

Question

I've got an action function for my popup and I need to access the feature attributes from the pop up within the action function. In the code below I'd like to access {SAWID} -- I dont see it in the event parameter sent to the function.
var ContactsAction = {
title: "Get Contacts",
id: "contacts-this",
};
var template = {
// autocasts as new PopupTemplate()
title: "{Name}",
content: "{SAWID}",
actions: [ContactsAction]
};
// Event handler that fires each time an action is clicked.
view.popup.on("trigger-action", lang.hitch(this, this.Contacts));
// Executes when GetContacts is clicked in pop ups
Contacts: function (event) {
if (event.action.id === "contacts-this") {
//grab SAWID
}
}
Thanks

I found something that works, although its probably not the best way to do it:
there is an innerText property on the even.target object that includes all the text in the pop up. If I parse the innerText property I can get what I need: If anyone knows of a cleaner way please let me know. Thanks
// Executes when GetContacts is clicked in pop ups
Contacts: function (event) {
if (event.action.id === "contacts-this") {
var str = event.target.innerText;
var start = str.indexOf("Close") + 6;//"Close" always precedes my SAWID
var end = str.indexOf("Zoom") - 1;//"Zoom" is always after my SAWID
var SAWID = str.substring(start, end);
alert(SAWID);
}
}
