Text variable "invisibles"?

Is there a way to see what text variables are currently being used on a document?

 

I work for a copy desk hub and we have a template shared by several newspapers and it has dozens of different text variables, which can be difficult to manage. Is there a feature, similar to "hidden characters" or "invisibles," in which you can click on a text varible or hover over it and it will show you the text variable name?

If you display the text in Story Editor (Cmd-Y on a Mac, Ctrl-Y on Windows) you will see the variable names. You can also run a Find-Change.
