How to turn text into a usable alias

[Ghostfish_]

My question is how to turn text into a usable alias, is there a constructor for an alias?

ex:
set block at {_l} to stone #valid
set block at {_l} to "stone" #invalid
set block at {_l} to

#invalid


well, why I don't just input stone without ""
because when I put item into a list in a yml,

it turns to org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack, and lose all its metadata. For instance, the colored glass will lose its color


instead, if I put text into that list in that yml, it reads the alias name of the block, which is like "yellow stained glass pane" #however, it is not valid to use text: set block at {_l} to "stone" is invalid

and I try to put skript block into that list

, it reads:

in yml
and

in-game after I print it out by skript

So is there a way to just read the text in yml, and turns it into usable alias? Something like this:
set block at {_l} to block("stone") is equivalent to set block at {_l} to stone

Thank you very much

set {_block} to "stone" parsed as material
set block at {_l} to {_block}

Is that what you want?
