Isn't there some much easier way to do this using (:input $:abc
default:)?  For some reason this "default" markup doesn't stick in my
head and I always have to research the syntax from scratch, but I'm
pretty sure there's a way to do it...

(After a 2-minute read, maybe as simple as (:input default $:abc
{$:abc}:) or (:input default source={$FullName}:) or something like
that...)
