Grep style formatting for variables
Active linked variables and Grep styles do not work together.
When you use variables and paragraph formats with Grep styles, you have to set the variable back to text and lose the link, to enable formatting with the Grep style.
Variables should be handled by InDesign like normal text, with all features of formatting etc.

Same with page number references or "markers" which seem to function the same as variables. For example, I'd like to style the page number PREFIX a little differently than than the page number. I reached for a GREP style to do this, but it's not currently possible.

Yey! GREP! Even for variables!

THIS! It also ties into giving variables the ability to go over one line.
I had a technique on indesignsecrets.com to make a side-tab with one master page that uses chartwell to 'push' the tab down the page based on the number in the section variable, BUT if I could use a GREP style to do this, I could use a GREPGraph.

Such a feature would open a massive range of possibilities...
