I don't know if there is a way, but the implementation did not work with
nested lists.

The Org manual contains many descriptions lists.
For short descriptions,
- XXX XXX XXX :: aaaa aaaa aaa aaaaa aaaaa
For longer descriptions,
- XXXXX XXX XXX ::
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do
eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
It doesn't look so bad, IMO. And it is very stable.

It's not just about introducing a variable. It is about fixing
indentation with description lists containing sub-lists.
You can try, if you want to. It may be tricky though: at first glance,
the previous implementation worked, but it actually didn't.
