Hi David...
Neither of those are possible with "default" Frame. We do have a plugin,
MarkerTools, that lets you use variables within markers ..
http://www.leximation.com/tools/info/markertools.php
That's an interesting idea of changing the path for references based on
a variable's value .. I'll add that to the list of plugins to develop. :)
The only way I can think of to do this without a plugin (or
FrameScript), would be to source the files as XML or MIF, and have some
process outside of Frame that manages these values.
Good luck!
