that was not what I was asking >:(


I can set 

[value name="dynamic_flag" set="3"]
[value name="dynamic_var-[value dynamic_flag]" set="some text"]

with dynamic flag
and then

can call that value

as 
[value name="dynamic_var-3"] 
or
[value name="dynamic_var-[value dynamic_flag]"]

what I can not do and would very much like to do is to be able
to perform a 'if it exists' on it

i.e.

[if value name="dynamic_var-[value dynamic_flag]"]


Sorry if I was not clear.
