New org user, fascinated by org-babel, but stumbled over something I have no good solution for: I have mostly shell blocks, and very often have to retrieve secrets from aws secretsmanager before I can do anything useful, e.g. query a database in several places. What I've been doing is to put the secret retrieval into a named block and can then inject the secret into other blocks with a parameter that calls that block. But then, the secret value is also echoed to the messages buffer, which I'd like to avoid? I'd also like to avoid repeating the secrets-retrieval code all over the place.

Thanks for any tips.
