Is there an easy standard way to define a string value and use it in configurations?

I think this plugin is fantastic. But at first I couldn't figure out how to define a simple variable and use it in the configuration field value. After reading through the readme file, I can achieve this using something like this.

...
"${input:plain_text}",
...
"inputs": [
        {
            "id": "plain_text",
            "type": "command",
            "command": "extension.commandvariable.transform",
            "args": {
                "text": "Hello, World!"
            }
        }
    ]
...

Is there a simpler way to define and use variables in the launch.json file instead of using transform? If there is, it would be good to have an example in the readme file.
