As others have noted, it is not possible to use system variables within user variables, nor is it possible to define additional new system variables. But I have to say that I really don’t see that what you are trying to do provides that much utility. Globally updating a regular user variable that contains the year across all files in a book takes only a few minutes, even for a large book, and you only need to change the value once a year. A manual solution works fine for me in this situation.
My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Is it possible to put building blocks inside a user variable? Ideally I'd like to create a variable named CurrentYear that contains only the <$year> building block. For reasons unknown, I'd like to do this without modifying or using the existing current date, modification date, or creation date variables. Thank you for your time.
