In a string builder DR, allow use of substituted values from non PI point DRs to retrieve an attribute value

If I have two AF databases, I would like to pull the value of an attribute from one database to another. The string builder path for the other database's attribute requires a value substitution from a non PI point DR from in the target AF DB (which where I want to bring the value). However, AF does not allow me to do this and the value of my string builder DR is the exact path (including the substituted values) I require, but does not bring in the value I need. For example, I have two AF databases with data of interest: //Electric City/Meters/Meter_12345678|Data Archive The attribute Data Archive indicates the name of the Data Archive which contains the PI point DRs for the asset Meter _12345678 I have another database where I need this string value of Data Archive within: //Electric City/Billing/Accounts/0123|Data Archive The following is another attribute and its value: //Electric City/Billing/Accounts/0123|Meter ID and Meter ID is a string of value Meter_12345678 For the following string builder DR for the attribute //Electric City/Billing/Accounts/0123|Data Archive, I would like to use following configurations to pull the value for Data Archive in: //Electric City/Meters/'Meter ID'|Data Archive However, the final value is observed in PSE is the expected path(//Electric City/Meters/Meter_12345678|Data Archive), but does not actually pull in the value from the other database.
