Yes, the example you quoted already contains a dynamic header value
(HTTP client certificate issuer).

Yes, with recent Squids, you can dynamically set annotations and then
use %note macro to add those annotations to HTTP request headers.
Annotations can be set using an eCAP adapter, a url_rewrite_program or,
IIRC, an external ACL. Here is a sketch:
url_rewrite_program /this/helper/replies/with OK note1=dynamicValue
acl hasNote1 note note1
request_header_add X-Note1 "%{note1}note" hasNote1
