Feature request: Centrally define text values in figma file

Hi all,

Recently I’ve been having some trouble in regards to sustaining text and terminology across multiple flows. I know of the ability of ‘replace all’ and also am aware of the ability to use text variables in components. However, I would like to be able to define text variables on a global scope. Where I define certain texts in a single art-board, and can then refer to them elsewhere in the page / file. Perhaps even use those text values across multiple documents like a design system file.
I would like to know how other people deal with this issue, as replace all can be quite unreliable.

Kind regards,
Thomas
