Postman mock server for requests with dynamic request headers/body

Question

I am using Postman mock server to create a mock endpoint where I need the response of the request to contain the request parameter as well as few other key values.

For example if my endpoint is /test?id=123 then i need the response as

    {
        "id":"123",
        "name":"anyRandomName"
    } 

Similarly, when I hit /test?id=234 then the response should be

{
    "id":"234",
    "name":"anyRandomName2"
}

One way to achieve this is by making 2 endpoints with specific query parameters, in this example /test?id=123 and /test?id=234 . But i am looking for a way where i can read the request parameter just like {{$id}} or something like this. Postman do provide keywords like {{$randomAlphaNumeric}} which returns random strings but this will change in every hit.

You can pass the example name in headers while making a call to the mock API with key "x-mock-response-name". this will return the example set with that name.
