The only place they can be used is in confirmation/notification e-mails and submit actions, and they can be viewed in these places. We recently (in the last week) added the ability to add them to one other place, in the note sections of some or our third-party integrations. We are in the process of updating the note sections for these integrations with links you can click on to insert these field IDs. What are you wanting to use these variables for?

That seems silly. The field variable number, as I understand it, is a unique # assigned to a field upon its creation. You should have this number somewhere easily viewable from the Build interface when I click on a given field. It is a critical piece of information for all kinds of reasons.
