Hey Peter,

Have you seen this solution?

https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Tools/Multiple%20Output%20Files#Number_of_Output_datasets_cannot_be_determined_until_tool_run

It always seems to get mentioned when this topic is brought up. It has
serious limitations in terms or workflow running, but it can probably
be made to work for individual tool executions.

Otherwise I would wait for future feature sets :), maybe other people
have some good ideas however.
