Is it possible to interpolate a variable (such as a url name) in the doc pages?

For example, I want to set:

```julia
my_page = "http://url.to.my.page.org"

```

and then, in the Documenter Markdown files, do:

```markdown
[MyPage]($my_page)

```

or something similar, to get the link working there.
