Could support for Fields be added to Inkscape?
I think there may arleady be requests for such functionality (not sure
if it was described as Fields, possibly was called Variables.)

(Fields, see abiword, or other office software.  Fields work like
variables you insert a field for Date and it will display the current
date)
