Autotext - new item to insert existing autotext item - possible?

[amv71]

Hi

Is there a way to have an autotext entry reference an existing entry?


For example consider:

    myAge` :' "40"
    myDetails` :' "Hi I am Geoff and I am <myAge> years old."

Output for typing myDetails - Hi I am Geoff and I am 40 years old.

[I use a backtick as a trigger key.] Is this possible with Autotext lists, or must I program a separate macro?

Thanks for reading!

myAge` :"40"
myDetails` :sub.Sub1

#sub Sub1 m
str s.getmacro(getopt(itemname 6))
findrx(s "myAge` :''(.+?)''" 0 1 _s 1)
key F"Hi I am Geoff and I am {_s} years old."
