For example, instead of writing the following:

element * .../my_branch_01/LATEST
element * .../base_branch/LATEST -mkbranch my_branch_01

I would want to write something like this:

MY_BRANCH=my_branch_01
element * .../%MY_BRANCH%/LATEST
element * .../base_branch/LATEST -mkbranch %MY_BRANCH%

Is this even possible? What is the correct syntax?
