[Console] Improve variable substitution

henrikno commented 1 year ago

Describe the feature: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/134215 added support for variables in Dev console, but they are very basic. I needed to do a basic repeat of a variable but with a prefix/basic interpolation.

Describe a specific use case for the feature: For instance I wanted to restore multiple indices, but with a different name.

POST _snapshot/repo/<snapshot name>/_mount?wait_for_completion=true&storage=shared_cache`
{
    "index": "<index name>",
    "renamed_index": "frozen_<index name>", 
}

I tried with

POST _snapshot/repo/<snapshot name>/_mount?wait_for_completion=true&storage=shared_cache`
{
    "index": "${indexName}",
    "renamed_index": "frozen_${indexName}", 
}

But this only substituted the first one.
