The ``var`` template variable allows you to access variables defined in
Airflow's
UI. You can access them as either plain-text or JSON. If you use JSON, you are
also able to walk nested structures, such as dictionaries like:
-``{{ var.json.my_dict_var.key1 }}``
+``{{ var.json.my_dict_var.key1 }}``.

+It is also possible to fetch a variable by string if needed with
+``{{ var.value.get('my.var', 'fallback') }}`` or

Instead of needing a code change can we instead use Jinja's built in
`default` fliter? `{{ var.value['my.var'] | default 'fallback' }}`?
