Improving Variable Display for Better User Experience

It would be cool if, when inserting a variable somewhere, it would display the name of the variable (instead of the type of metadata you inserted like "value" or "name") the little numbers help keep track of which variable is which, but boy it would be a lovely quality of life

    Speaking about variables, I have 2 blocks that, ideally, would set the same variable. Then, down the line, another block would read and use the variable value. The current problem is that, when trying to choose the variable to use, I'm forced to choose between setter 1 and setter 2 - they don't act like the variable is the same iinstance/reference. In other words, it seems that we can't have the same variable set from 2 different blocks. Did I get this right?

    And a second issue I just saw - if the setter doesn't run, then the getter fails. There is no 'null' behavior.
