Variable for entity_id in trigger

Is it possible to use a variable for the entity_id in triggers?
For instance:

  - id: auto_to_on
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.backyard_hue_sensor_motion
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
  - id: auto_to_dim
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.backyard_hue_sensor_motion
    from: 'on'
    to: 'off'
    for: '00:02:00'
  - id: auto_to_off
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.backyard_hue_sensor_motion
    from: 'on'
    to: 'off'
    for: '00:02:30'

be something like

  variables:
    sensor: binary_sensor.backyard_hue_sensor_motion

  trigger:
  - id: auto_to_on
    platform: state
    entity_id: "{{ sensor }}"
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
  - id: auto_to_dim
    platform: state
    entity_id: "{{ sensor }}"
    from: 'on'
    to: 'off'
    for: '00:02:00'
  - id: auto_to_off
    platform: state
    entity_id: "{{ sensor }}"
    from: 'on'
    to: 'off'
    for: '00:02:30'
