Description:Pretty much all in the summary. 'linkedid' is an available argument for the CHANNEL function. We should document it!

Changing reporter to Steven Wheeler so he'll get credit as he reported this on the mailing list. I'm just creating the issue.

Should also check to see if there are any other CHANNEL arguments missing documentation.

Turns out a few were undocumented...

hangupsource R/W   (Returns the channel responsible for the hangup)
appname R    (Returns the internal application name if available.)
appdata R      (Returns the application data if available.)
exten R            (Returns the extension for an outbound channel.)      
context R          (Returns the context for an outbound channel.)
channame R    (Returns channel name on an outbound channel??)
uniqueid R     (Returns the uniqueid for the channel)
linkedid R    (Returns the linkedid. If it is not set then the uniqueid is returned.)

Submitting a patch to Gerrit for all of those. I experimented with them to see what they do.. hopefully if I misunderstood then someone will comment in a review on Gerrit.
