[FEATURE REQUEST] want to resuse value entered to a prompt in multiple places

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am prompting for a date and want to reuse the value entered in other places in the content I create as a capture. The docs were vague and I thought if I did a {{VALUE:name}} I could later just use {{name} to insert the previously entered value of name. Can't so I'd like a new feature to support this on all the types of entry.

Describe the solution you'd like

Keep the current format, like VALUE:xxx or VDATE:yyy,YYYY-MM-DD so things will keep working, but add a new format {{VAR:name}} where name is the name of a previous prompt text. It requires you to save entered prompted data and the name that was used for the prompt, but then entry should be pretty much code you have. If you want to not save all prompted entries, perhaps modifying the syntax so that a character, perhaps = is added after the prompt type name so it looks like {{VALUE=:prompt }}
