Trigger to Initialise/Reset ALL Variables in Storyline 360

I have often wished for something similar, and I would support David's feature request. 

I recently had an idea for a possible work around. Instead of variables, create objects that are off-stage, for example, a set of simple rectangle shapes. Give these objects states that represent the values of interest. E.g., for each True/False variable, create a True and False state on an object instead. You could then use triggers to change the state of these objects instead of using triggers to assign values to variables. And you could check the current state of the object instead of checking the value of a variable. The advantage is that you could reset such "variables" simply by jumping back to the current slide, as long as you had Reset to Initial State set for the slide. In this way, these off-stage objects become like a set of local variables, but no triggers are needed to reset them en mass except the jump to slide trigger.
