Hello,
Your idea is good, and(but) needs a lot of works.
Please note, you can do this with another way:
1/ use a JDBC sampler with a SQL SELECT on a database, around a Once
only controller which start first in test
2/ and JMeter's function __V{}
http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/functions.html#__V
to build dynamically variables name from SELECT results.
This way is limited by JVM memory (all rows are store in memory by JDBC
SELECT request), but for a small list (<10.000 rows) this is a good way.
I wrote a french tutorial in 2 parts to do this.

(sorry, it's in french, but some screen-shots shows the way)
