Topic: Nested liquid variables

Does anyone know how I can evaluate a liquid variable whose value is a liquid variable itself?
my data file contains
...
value1: "some text"
value2: "more text"
value3: "text with a variable {{id}}".
I want value 3 to be parsed as
"text with a variable structuredefinition-patient"
but I get only a literal
"text with a variable {{id}}"

something like this

but ideally without making a filter (I have no idea where to put that filter in my template)

do you want {{[id]}}?
Eric Haas (Jul 23 2020 at 21:49):
i've used {{[type]}} and {{[id]}} in front matter variables before.
like :
type: {{[type]}}
id: {{[id]}}
then referenced the type and id using page.id and page.type which is handy when you want to use the in the included files. There are limits to this with the current layouts however and we have avoided using page variables.

This doesn't work for me. Perhaps because I am using this inside a JavaScript block...
