Yes, here is a sample drawing and model (Creo 7) that implements the scheme you describe above.

There is a parameter generated within a model note as seen here. That can be used in a relation.

Here are the model parameters used to generate the note seen in the drawing

You can use a parameter value within a note which is what I gather you are attempting. Once the value of Gen_Note1 is defined you can then use that value in a note by using the following syntax "&Gen_Note1" .

Keep in mind that if the string value of a parameter is lengthy then using it to generate a note is not the best way to handle this in Creo IMO.

One option is to define your standard notes in a text editor (i.e. MS Word) and include the parameter names for values that will vary when the note is placed into a model or drawing. This will make it easier to maintain the standard notes and enable re-use.
