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.

Yes, 100% yes. This would be super useful. Please Figma make this happen.

yes, i’d like to have this one too. Will save so much time naming all the variables in one place.

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.
