It looks like Steve Ridout implemented this idea, as linked by Ian above:

I've been meaning to incorporate this sort of functionality into the 
Zotero styles page (and was actually planning to sit down and finally 
try it today), so it's great to see a working PoC. As you say, there are 
a bunch of ways this could work—free-form, tokens, fixed, customizable, 
client-side, server-side—but I still think this is one of the easiest 
ways to meet a lot of people's needs and allow more people to benefit 
from the authoring work done by Sebastian and others.
