Is there a way to state variables in the <<link>> macro in Twine 2, sugarcube 2-18?

Question

I'm trying to state a variable within a <<link>> <</link>> macro, for example this:

<<link [[Continue to Chapter 1 in $difficulty |Chapter 1: Loss Page 1]]>><<script>> Dialog.close()<</script>><</link>>
 

However Twine does not recognise $difficulty and shows "$difficulty" instead of it's actual value.

Is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance.

Ah nevermind - MadExile already answered this in:

Or simply use the version of the <<link>> macro that accepts two String values.

<<set $difficulty to "Abcd">>

<<link "Continue to Chapter 1 in $difficulty" "Chapter 1: Loss Page 1">><<script>> Dialog.close()<</script>><</link>>
