You should be able to use Tobias suggestion
<$set name="js-macro-link-text" value={{!!test}}>
<$button set=!!test setTo=<<js-macro-link>>>Test button</$button>
</$set>
In your javascript macro you can read the value of "js-macro-link-text"
like so:
var input = this.getVariable("js-macro-link-text");
cheers
