Is there a way to use magic words to output static information, the same way  ~ works?

I am trying to use magic words within a commentbox to automatically grab the posting user's username & timestamp. At the moment, if the template is used on a page and the page is edited later, all the information previously generated by the magicwords changes to the new latest revision timestamp/editor name  (the signature at the bottom of the comment boxes shows the true timestamp, while the top one is the magic word generated one).

This question came up before without a solution, but I'm hoping something has been found since then?

If magic words cannot be used, is there something else that could be used for this function instead?
