Research direction
Review the Redactor Variables plugin description and CKEditor’s inline-widget demo linked in the issue to understand the proposed placeholder behavior. A complete feature would provide an official Craft CMS build that lets authors insert placeholder variables and later replace them with actual content.

Description
Description
We received the message in the CP that Redactor is no longer being supported which is fine, CKEditor seems to be a better option overall. However, one of the breaking changes that's preventing us from migrating is Redactor has the nifty Variables plugin which allows you to put in placeholder content which later gets replaced with the actual content.
We're using this functionality to let a client customize various aspects of their emails from the CP after one of their online trainings is done, which seems to be an ideal use case for this.
After doing some digging it looks CKEditor has already built something similar, essentially using their demo project as a jump-off.
I took a stab at building this myself (and failing) - but what are the odds this plugin can make it into an official Craft CMS build at some point?
