Can Alfresco replace place holders with environment values?

I am not an Alfresco user, so please excuse me if I use the wrong terminology. I have tried searching for this, but could not find the answer - as maybe it is not possible.

I have an static HTML page which I need to deploy to a a dev, staging and production server. The page contains a link, and this link should point to a different URL depending on the environment the HTML page is deployed to.

e.g. test.html looks like this, and I add/commit/upload this to Alfresco.

<html>
....
    <a href="{{LOGIN-URL}}">Log In</a>
....
</html>

And I then have properties such as this:

dev.LOGIN-URL=http://dev.example.com
stg.LOGIN-URL=http://stg.example.com
prod.LOGIN-URL=http://www.example.com

Is it possible for Alfresco to replace the placeholder with the correct value for that environment when the document is published?

Or can this be done another way?

Nice question - You can define your stage by passing in a property via jvm args (http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/topic/com.alfresco.enterprise.doc/tasks/bean-override.html):

-Dstage=dev or -Dstage=prod

in your properties:

dev.LOGIN-URL=http://dev.example.com
stg.LOGIN-URL=http://stg.example.com
prod.LOGIN-URL=http://www.example.com

In your template:

<html>
    ....
        <a href="{{STAGE}}.{{LOGIN-URL}}">Log In</a>
    ....
</html>
