text substitution in the describe-part of a rule?

Whilst researching this I came across an email from a couple of years
ago which said "In standard rules there is no way that you can do text
substitution in the description part.". 

Is that still the case in 3.1.x and/or 3.2?  There are quite a few times
where it would be so useful to complement the description with a
substring from a matched regex.
