Description

I'd love to be able to refer to previous calculations in the same file via a line number reference, similar to the feature of Soulver.

This allows me to break down calculations into multiple lines to self document steps.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing calculation plugin code to understand how equations are parsed and evaluated. Then design a syntax for referencing previous line results (e.g., $1 or #ref) and modify the evaluation to handle these references. Consider edge cases like reordering lines or missing references.
