Description
The concept itself is this: Add a new option to define variables, and then allow those variables to be appended or prepended to strings alongside the existing string modifiers.
The idea stems from the Google Drive API requiring an API key. As of now, the key has to be added to every url class, but with something like this, it could be defined as a single variable with placeholder text, and included in the downloader, so that users would only have to modify one thing.

Research direction
Start by locating the downloader, URL classes, and existing string-modifier handling mentioned in the issue. Trace how URL values are assembled and how Google Drive API keys are currently repeated. Done means a defined variable can be reused as a placeholder when prepending or appending to strings, with the design and affected downloader behavior agreed.
