Updating Interface using scripting

I need to create a simple function that checks a value, compares with it with another value in a record.

I have the interface setup and have created a record in the table that the user can update. I have a button that runs an automation to run a script and completes the check. What I cannot seem to do is update the user to say wether or not the check has passed or failed.

I cannot use output.text as this isn't available in automations, only the scripting extensions. AFAIK you can't open a dialog box from the automation script either. 

The only way I can think to achieve it is to add a field to the table called "Dialog" in the table and then update that display that in the interface? But that seems _really_ clumsy.

My question is
A: Can I run a script extension from a button on an interface? 

B: Does anyone have a better idea of how to achieve this?
