If I understand correctly, you want to retrieve the old value node name and
place it on the dialog before it is shown to the user to be changed.

The Instance::process_action member function receives a Action::ParamList
that is the list of the value nodes with the name in a list.

Later, on Instance::process_action you can look up the "value_node"
parameter on that param list, and get its id (value_node->get_id();) then
use that string to place it on the dialog.

Since the dialog from Instance::process_action is for any action type you
have to check whether the action is a Rename_ValueNode one to fill up the
dialog with the string.

I think that everything you need is inside the Instance class and no new
parameters are needed to add to the action.

I hope I've explained correctly.
Cheers!
