Is there a way to get gnuplot to examine a datafile and assign a value to a variable?

A convoluted way using a plot statement is to use

plot 'file' every 1:1:line_no:block_no:line_no:block_no using ($col_no = time)

for example, which allows a block, line, and column number to be specified and assigned to the variable time.  However, I'd like to be able to do this without invoking a plot statement.
Any suggestions?
