How can I create a variable group, update the value in a pipeline, and query the value?

Question

As an end goal I am trying to create an Azure DevOps Dashboard widget that has a table with the project name, the environments (dev, test, prod), and the current version of that project.

I was thinking about creating a variable group in a project called version, with variables such as: dev = 0.0.0, test = 0.0.0, prod = 0.0.0

Then I would need to called these variables within my pipeline to update the value, i.e. dev = 0.0.1.

After the variable gets updated, I want to query my variable group and display the results in the Query Results extension.

Is this even possible or is there a better way to do this?

@Whitmore, Alexander Azure DevOps isn't currently support here on Microsoft Q&A. It would be best to post your query on the Developer Community Forum instead.
