Yes, you can.

Just prefix the variable name with a colon.

For example.

select *
from abc
where field1 = :value1

It's a nice feature, although it doesn't remember previously entered values.

Also, if you use the same variable name more than once, it the prompt will
include it multiple times instead of prompting once and using the same
value for each instance.
