Use Response Body as "Source String"

I don't know what the intended use-case is, but what's definitely missing is the opportunity to refer to something else in Insomnia, e.g. a Response Body.
Example: I execute a request that returns a JSON with a part of a URL A. Now I want to build a new request that uses A, but needs to replace parts of it:
Request #1: GET http://server/path/to/something
Response:
{
"data": {
"refUrl": "/otherPath/pointing/somewhere/useful"
}
}
Request #2: GET http://server{<reference to refUrl>.replace("useful", "awesome")}
In the current state of the plugin I can only replace "useful" with "awesome" on a fixed string.
