Description

Following #259, please add a way to use dynamic interface names in other interface-related objects and in templates.
Either a way to feed `${iface X}` rendered value to other objects, or change interface-related objects that expect interface name as an argument to treat a numeric argument the same way as `iface` (which probably would be cleaner from config perspective).

Research direction

Start by reading issue #259 and tracing how `${iface X}` is rendered and how interface-related objects receive interface-name arguments. Determine whether the project should expose that rendered value or accept numeric arguments consistently, then verify that dynamic names work in the affected objects and templates.
