Default Display text if a group of mergefields are blank

Hello,

I have a group of mergefields which may or may not contain data when
merged. Is it possible to show alternate text if every mergefield in
the group is blank?

It seems inefficient to use an IF statement to check if each field is
blank, then access each field again to be displayed. Is there an
analog to the mergefield \f and \b switches which show text when the
field is empty? Could I place all mergefields inside a field and use
some special switch?

Thanks in advance!
