Description
### Search before asking
- [X] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/iotdb/issues) and found nothing similar.
### Version
IoTDB v1.3.2 in docker on MacOS
### Describe the bug and provide the minimal reproduce step
A variable for a device path has been created as per instructions.
This variable can be used successfully in the "SQL Full-Customized" query editor
As per the excellent documentation [1]
> Both SQL: Full Customized and *SQL: Drop-down List* input methods support the variable and template functions of grafana
However, trying to add the sensor path at the dropdown element shown as `"$endpoint"` below ...
[root] > [dropdown-sg] > "$endpoint"
... I get the following error:
> $endpoint is illegal, unquoted node name can only consist of digits, characters and underscore, or start or end with wildcard
Note: I have tried `$endpoint` `${endpoint}` and `{{endpoint}}` form of variable template syntax.

### What did you expect to see?
Variable template syntax shown in path element instead of regular path component from dropdown
### What did you see instead?
Error
### Anything else?
I notice the source repo for the grafana plugin (iotdb-extras) does not have any issues tracked. I can re-submit there if required.
### Are you willing to submit a PR?
- [ ] I'm willing to submit a PR!
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Grafana plugin's SQL Drop-down List editor with IoTDB v1.3.2, comparing it with the SQL Full-Customized editor. Then inspect the plugin source in iotdb-extras and the linked Grafana plugin documentation. Done means a device-path variable is accepted in the dropdown editor instead of being parsed as an illegal literal path node.
