The problem that I've found with that approach is that = the braces have to be balanced.

\def\myimagefilename{flower{1.jpg} % doesn't work
\def\myimagefilename{flower{1}.jpg} % works

If you use xml as input format you could save the file name in a = temporary
macro and use this macro now in the \externalfigure command. You = already
gave a example for this.
