Create a string collection flow variable

Dear all,
I found a way to create a string collection flow variable from a previous post

Passing a list of strings in a flow variable

so basically turning a collection column to a flow variable

Is there a more straightforward way, without having to go through a table ? like from individual string flow variables to a collection string variable

Not for now but there are tickets to enable such manipulation in flow variable manipulations nodes. Will note your request there.
