Can I connect Variable data to complex object created by my plugin?

Question

Hello,We have plagin which creates complex object(barcode). I would like to know is there a way to make complex objects as placholders in the template file?I've watched video for connecting variable data in illustrator.Also digged into @Silly-V 's well known script VariableImporter.Everything seems clear for standart types of illustrator(Text, Graph Data, visibility).Now my question is: Is there a way to make a complex object(barcode) created by our plugin as placeholder object, like animal image in video? So that I can pass code value by csv and create different barcodes in different versions of files.Not sure, but maybe object created by plugin could have special interface/attributes for that.
