And you can also use them in strings (text annotation object) using the syntax [file:string] - when you type the first [ you will see a popup with the list of available strings.

It would be nice if this could be stuffed in one of the top few records of the file and then have my CSV data following, but I'm willing to even create an entire column of that string value.

So I try to create a scalar type where one of my columns consists of the string of interest.  When I try to do this, I get a value of 0, so I suspect string values aren't supported.
