Simplifying sass attribute selectors

I'm trying to come up with a way to simplify some SCSS attribute selectors. What I end up with is:

[data-attr="opt1"] { ... }
[data-attr="opt2"] { ... }
[data-attr="opt3"] { ... }

What I'm hoping for is to be able to write something closer to:

[data-attr]
    &="opt1" { ... }
    &="opt2" { ... }
    &="opt3" { ... }

via a mixin, or whatever. Can't come up with a solution though. Any clever ideas?

I've come to this idea:

@mixin attrVal($value) {
    $attr: str-slice(#{&}, 2, -2); // $attr = "data-attr"
    @at-root { 
        [#{$attr}="#{$value}"] {
           @content; 
        }
    } 
}

[data-attr] {
    @include attrVal('opt1') { width: 10px; }
    @include attrVal('opt2') { width: 20px; }
    @include attrVal('opt3') { width: 30px; }
}

Output (tested on sassmeister.com)

[data-attr="opt1"] { width: 10px; }
[data-attr="opt2"] { width: 20px; }
[data-attr="opt3"] { width: 30px; }

For this specific example there's no that huge simplification, but with this approach you're actually decoupling the attribute name from its value (in the aim of code reuse).
