Detailed Description

A print layout item parameter, allowing users to select a particular item from a print layout.

QgsProcessingParameterLayoutItem should be evaluated by calling QgsProcessingAlgorithm::parameterAsLayoutItem(). Internally, QgsProcessingParameterLayoutItems are string parameters, storing references to items either by their UUID (QgsLayoutItem::uuid()) or ID (QgsLayoutItem::id()).
