Describe the Issue

Hello! I'm experiencing an issue with dynamic code block generation using meta bind values.

Current Approach: I'm using meta bind values to generate code blocks with meta values as shown in the attached screenshot.

Image

Issue: The VIEW values display correctly in inline code but don't render the dynamic values in code blocks.

Questions:

  1. Is this limitation by design?
  2. Are there any workarounds to generate copyable code blocks with dynamic values in reading mode?

Thank you for the excellent plugin.
