Can I use click macro and passagedone or something else other than replace to update variables?

So I have question about updating variables with click and making new text appear without having to do replace. So I have a decently sized game right now and many passages have multiple choices that lead to different outcomes and different text on the same passage. So far I have been doing this by using replace to make new text appear, but i was kinda hoping i could skip that and just have a click that updates a variable making an if statement true and showing the text under that if statement without having to leave the passage and come back. Or replacing.

Sorry if this is unreable i'm on an ipad right now. Also i'm writing in the newest version of sugarcube 2.
