Variable Folder in Lister Tab

I've searched this forum but cant find exactly what I'm looking to do. Here's what I need to accomplish:

I currently have several different listers (one for each product I maintain). Each lister has a set of tabs which correspond to the product and most of the folders are static. The issue I'm having is that my products are released quarterly so there are several tabs that I would like to be variable. For instance, I have a folder named "Quarterly Docs" but I have to drill down to the actual folder I need on a quarterly basis which is "Quarterly Docs\2012\December". I would like to create a couple of variables like @ProdYear and @ProdMonth and see the lister tab opened using those variables so it opens where I really need it to be. I've tried aliases but I have a bunch of products/folders and it doesn't appear that I can modify or delete them programmatically. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike
