Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We have a usecase where we need to send a timestamp value from one workflow to another. In Airflow, it was achieved by setting it in the Variable and the other dag was able to access it. I couldn't find something similar to a global variable in databricks.

JobsParameters feature in brickflow allows us to pass values from one workflow to another by passing it via an operator like RunJobTask, JarTask, etc., But in cases where we don't want to use any of those operators, a global variable is really handy and helpful.
