Is there a way to "parameterize" text in a sketch ?

I'm modeling up some stuff for my woodworking shop and the current project is a bunch of 3dprinted sanding disk nameplates.  It's a simple little part with the grit number in raised letters on the part.  I've been doing some digging but can't see a way to make the text a "parameter" so that I can simply key in a new grit number and the model updates.  Perhaps this does not exist, and there's another way to automate this process rather than copy the model and manually edit the sketch in each one? 

Thanks for any tips people can pass along.

@Anonymous - today, no, there is no way to have sketch text update based on a parameter value.  Here is the IdeaStation item for this:  parameters-in-text.  It would be possible to write a custom script using the API that would update text based on a parameter, but that might be more work that it is worth...
