Inline patterns in Passolo XML export/import file

When inline patterns protection is used in a .lpu file to protect certain part of translation unit from being translated, such information is not carried over when string lists are exported from .lpu to Passolo XML Export/Import .xml file.  This requires additional configuration for all inline patterns in the CAT environment the .xml files are processed in.  I was wondering if there is a macro which adds a marker to the inline protected variables in Passolo Export/Import .xml.

For example, you have the following string processed in .lpu:

string.one=You have {numMessage} new messages.
string.two=Total message: %d messages.

The variables marked in colored-background above is inline-pattern-protected in .lpu.  When you export the above string to Passolo XML Export/Import .xml file, you have:

<Entry Id="1" Origin="String STRING.ONE in Strings 230">You have {numMessage} new messages.</Entry>
<Entry Id="2" Origin="String STRING.TWO in Strings 230">Total message: %d messages.</Entry>

I was thinking if macro can be a solution to have something like below in Passolo XML Export/Import .xml:

<Entry Id="1" Origin="String NEW_MESSAGE in Strings 230">You have $$${numMessage}$$$ new messages.</Entry>
<Entry Id="2" Origin="String STRING.TWO in Strings 230">Total message: $$$%d$$$ messages.</Entry>

Reviewing Automation online help, it does not seem that this can be done with Passolo macro.  Any input here is appreciated.
