Make variable names available to use as text string for design system documentation

There is a variable option for text strings that pulls in the value of a variable. I would like to an option to apply a variable name to a text string. This would allow my design system documentation to be dynamic based on the changes I make to the variable names.

I used this option in Tokens Studio and it was incredibly useful.

Hi I am also looking for this kind of functionality that can be extremely helpful for documentation. I have only found one plugin that claims to offer this ability but it is a pro feature and requires a license key for using. Has anyone found any other means of accomplishing this? Thank you for the help.

+1. This would help a lot with design system documentation.
