I would say that the chances of that being changed are slim to none because
that would require a total rewrite of how text variables work. (but it
doesn't hurt to ask!)
That's what they said about line-based Nested Styles, although I held out that it was possible.
Other programs have been able to break variables across lines for years. As I recall, FullWrite Profession could do this running on a 1 MB Mac Plus in 1988. I think there are some programmers at Adobe who could manage the same feat on a computer several thousand times as powerful today.
