Am I able to use tokens for a report selection drop-down on a Simple XML dashboard?

[bandit]

I wanted to use tokens to allow the dropdown selection of scheduled reports within a dashboard. Is this possible?

Example simple xml:

<form>
  <label>Dashboard Test</label>
  <description></description>
  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="dropdown" token="report" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Report Selector</label>
      <choice value="timechart_hosta">Timechart Host A</choice>
      <choice value="timechart_hostb">Timechart Host B</choice>
    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <chart>
        <title>$report$</title>
        <search ref="$report$"></search>
        <option name="charting.axisY2.enabled">undefined</option>
      </chart>
    </panel>
  </row>
</form>

Yes, I would consider using the savedsearch command. It would like something like whats below.

<form>
   <label>Dashboard Test</label>
   <description></description>
   <fieldset submitButton="false">
     <input type="dropdown" token="report" searchWhenChanged="true">
       <label>Report Selector</label>
       <choice value="timechart_hosta">Timechart Host A</choice>
       <choice value="timechart_hostb">Timechart Host B</choice>
     </input>
   </fieldset>
   <row>
     <panel>
       <chart>
         <title>$report$</title>
         <searchString>savedsearch $report$</searchStrin
         <option name="charting.axisY2.enabled">undefined</option>
       </chart>
     </panel>
   </row>
 </form>

Thanks. This is what I got working where it prepends the appropriate host name to call the reports for that host.

<form refresh="600">
  <label>DC Details Clone</label>

  <fieldset submitButton="false">
    <input type="dropdown" token="report" searchWhenChanged="true">
      <label>Report Selector</label>
      <choice value="hosta">Host A</choice>
      <choice value="hostb">Host B</choice>

    </input>
  </fieldset>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <chart>
        <title>CPU vs. 4 Week Average</title>
        <searchString>savedsearch "$report$ CPU vs. 4 Week Average"</searchString>
        <option name="charting.axisY2.enabled">undefined</option>
      </chart>
