\setvariables
[whatever]
[name:first={product a},
price:first={123,45},
name:second={product b},
price:second={0.67}]
\starttext
You can order \getvariable {whatever} {name:first} but only if you're
willing
to pay the price of \getvariable {whatever} {price:first} Euros. But why not
go for the much cheaper \getvariable {whatever} {name:second} that only
costs
you \getvariable {whatever} {price:second} Euros!
\stoptext
Something like that?
