how could I simplify this richText syntax?

Question

{ 
 a!richTextHeader( text: local!vehicle['recordType!{99b0bb09-e2c0-4f75-a70b-26f247e2d095}AA Vehicle.fields.{41ba4a5a-f36f-474a-b17d-c12f6869260f}make'], size: "MEDIUM" ), a!richTextItem( text: {local!vehicle['recordType!{99b0bb09-e2c0-4f75-a70b-26f247e2d095}AA Vehicle.fields.{19858bdc-1ba7-46b0-8f44-c9bdcbd61fca}model']} ) } 
 
 I am just wondering how could I write only once the " recordType!{99b0bb09-e2c0-4f75-a70b-26f247e2d095" them be able to get the value in a less verbose way 
 I mean I don't think this sintaxe `local!vehicle[recordType!AA Vehicle.fields.year]` is ok for each field I want to add. 
 
 it should exist something to reduce that syntax and then make it able to just "vehicle.field, vehicle.year, vehicle.color"... Thanks in advance

What I use as my productivity hack is to have a rule input with the correct record as their data type. Now you can simply use dot operator and start typing your field name and it will also format it once you select. 
 
 Once you do it everywhere on the screen, you can just replace the "ri!student" with your local variable.

Unlike local variables, you cannot use one RI in another RI. So my suggestion would be, wherever you have this interface plugged, run this query there and pass the result in vehicle rule input, and then just have one single RI on your screen.

Hello Silas Ferreira ,

 This works fine if you have a CDT or a map and not for RecordTypes. AFAIK You will have to follow this I guess. Its either this or the Index function which would require a little bit more writing.

I don't recommend this for all cases but there is always the option of casting your Record to a map. a!localVariables(
 local!recordMap: cast(typeof(a!map()), ri!LM_Account),
 a!richTextDisplayField(
 value: a!richTextItem(
 text: local!recordMap.id
 )
 )
)

how could I simplify this richText syntax?
