I know i suggested writing a module, but one thing you can do which might be close to what you are trying is using a script to add custom facts to your systems. There's a nice write up of doing this here. http://hindenes.com/trondsworking/2016/11/05/using-ansible-as-a-software-inventory-db-for-your-windows-nodes/ This might be easier as you don't have to create an entire module. As you have seen, you can return data from a script, but by extending facts, it is more straightforward to use the extra info you have gathered later in your playbook.
