Using variables for single sourcing

In FM 7.2, is it possible to use a variable in the following locations?

1. Within the text of an index marker?

2. As the directory path of a text inset or a graphic?

The purpose is single-sourcing. I want to store the name of a product in a
variable. I want the index entries, the screen captures, etc. to update
automatically when I change the value of the variable.

Are there other approaches to achieve the same goal? (I know that I can use
conditional text. I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require an
independent condition per product name.)
