Secret use in specifying parts of settings.xml

[ksully-execute]

Can secrets (github organizational) be used to provide the values for the various pieces (servers, repositories, etc.)?
And could the secret have the entire content for the item, for example, for this entry in your examples:
repositories: '[{ "id": "some-repository", "url": "http://some.repository.url" }]'
could it done with:
repositories: ${{ secrets.MAVEN_REPOSITORIES}}
Thx.
