Default Alternative to MERGEFIELD

I have a mailmerge document that I'm processing using code. Here is the idea

Most of the MERGEFIELDs are tied to the mailmerge data source. However there
is a second set of fields that need to be replaced (or merged) with a
different data source before the document is merged.

The way I'm doing this is to prefix this subset of fields with an '@' and
then replacing the whole field with the actual text.

For the most part this works but it gets a little confusing for the user.
I'm wondering if I need to use MERGEFIELD at all for this subset, or if I
can make up my own collection of something else?

Maybe there is a way to add comments to MERGEFIELDs ?

Any ideas please?
