how to create a custom config file apart from config.[env].yaml

In addition to using config.[env].yaml, is it possible to create a custom file for configuring variables and then reference those placeholders in data models, transformations, workflows, etc ?

For instance, I have several common SQL blocks that I would like to share across different transformations. While I could define them as variables in config.[env].yaml, I prefer to keep SQL-related variables separate from others in order to maintain clarity.

    The only place you can define variables is in the config.[env].yaml file. 

    I don’t think I follow here, can you describe a bit more what you mean. If you have an example that would be great.
