control text variables from KiVar

Is there any way, how to affect text variables by KiVar? It would be handy, if KiVar could somehow tell, which assembly variant is actually selected. Right now, I am using KiBot to automatically generate gerbers and assembly data from project. It could read text variables stored in project and use them as filenames for the outputs. I am used to name bom and pick-and-place data according to selected assembly variant. If KiVar could do this automatically, I would not need to set them manually, thus less work and less chance for my error.

Start by reviewing how KiVar handles assembly variants and how KiBot reads project text variables for output filenames. Determine how the selected variant should be exposed to those variables, then verify that generated Gerber, BOM, and pick-and-place filenames reflect the selected variant without manual setup.
