Summary: A common user interaction in CarPlay is the ability to tap a button and have Siri appear on screen already knowing the context of a request. Examples include: "Where would you like to go?" In Maps, "What should I play?" In Music, and "Who shall I text?" In Messages when pressing the appropriate UIButton in the navigation bar. This would be EXTREMELY valuable for OEMs using SiriKit for car functions. For example, if a user wanted to manually enter a radio station that would be fine if the car is parked, but when moving the keypad button should be replaced with a button that brings up Siri with the prompt "What station would you like to listen to?" Or "What should I tune to?". The same could be said of climate settings like "What temperature would you like?".

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start carplay
2. Open OEM app w SiriKit support 

Expected Results: Ability to call function that brings up Siri w given intent request 

Actual Results: Undocumented or not currently available 

Version: 10
