TEXTBOX DRIVEN BY VARIABLE (numbers and text)

I am using Configurations to drive all dimensions, part number, vendor information, and name. I would also like to be able to emboss a simple text ID on the top face of this component to help differentiate them in a part studio or assembly. 

When in Sketch->Text it would be nice to have the option to Configure the value.
This could be accomplished by allowing variables to be characters as well as numbers. For example, I could create a variable #TEXT and set it it "Testing"
In Sketch-> Text, I could then simply write #TEXT and sketch text would appear as "Testing".
In the configuration panel, I could add the #TEXT variable and change it's value based on the configuration (for example it could say "RAM", "FLASH", "SoC" etc)

It's not implemented as far as I know.
