Does the ulysses app have anything that is useful for creating placeholder text?

For instance, if I didn't have a character name, or a place name I could do:

`{protagonist_first_name}`

or

`{placename_1}`

And then just do a search and replace.

I just wondered if there was anything built in that made this process simpler. (Keyboard shortcuts etc.)
