Howdy!
Is it be possible to create a UXP plugin that interacts with the existing Vairables tool as seen here:

The goal would be to automate this from another application using Socket.IO.

Thanks.

As far as I know you cannot read variables assigned to the layers. But you could possibly use API to set and switch the content?

Usually, people script layers directly without doing that via variables and data sets features. I might perform slower but you have more flexibility about more aspects.

Thank you @Jarda.
Would you happen to know of any examples, I am really finding Adobe’s documention lacking.
