Ah, I see what you mean. Don't forget that macros are in fact implemented as variables. So a global macro is in fact a global variable.
But I'm not sure that this is a good use of variables. You're replacing the need to remember a tiddler title with the need to remember a variable name. I think it's clearer to use the full tiddler title; that way you'll find the reference with search and replace, for instance.
