Problem and Suggestion

While dynamic text components exist; using Values in place of Minecraft's Text Component limits flexibility. What about combining static text with dynamic values using a format string with placeholders?

For example, a static string with placeholders that can be replaced by Values, simple code that could be represented in json:
"Hello, %s. You have obtained %s".replace(name_data_attachment, choice_string_data_attachment)

Implementation

I was thinking this can be written within the class TextComponentValueHolder:

Store placeholders: Add a separate variable, placeholders maybe? (Work out the name semantics later lmao)
Apply formatting: Handle the placeholder replacement logic directly within the get() method.

Finally, to expand usage beyond the ui widgets, it can replace the variable types in Power name, and AbilityProperties title
