Is it possible to create a global variable in Simple XML dashboard like we do using resultsvaluesetter module in advanceXML??

My requirement is to create a custom table using html tags.

As an example:

Overall Status Count

Total 55

Pass 30
Fail 25

Now here I want create three global variables named as varTotal, varPass, varFail so these values are available as tokens throughout my dashboard.

My dashboard isnt having any dropdowns or for that matter any form elements.

I use input text field with depends on unexisting variable.

<input type="text" token="myToken" depends="$hiddenToken$">
  <default>my variable</default>
</input>

$myToken$ is default value, and you don't see it with "depends".
