Description

Currently when interpolating previous response values, we can only index previous test cases by their position in the test suite. This can be annoying and break when we change the order / add and remove cases.

It would be good if we could index by test name or in indexing identifier.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement indexing by test name by modifying the interpolation logic to look up test cases by a provided identifier instead of position. Examine the existing code that handles interpolation and extend it to accept a name based reference.
