Hi, Can we create a replacement parameter for a session, which can hold some temporary value, based on which some actions cannot be called again and again?

There are multiple ways of handling this. Like Neil suggested, you can run an action to do CopyToContext which will copy your data to "$Context" section.
Else if you are doing this for a specific hosted control inside C# code, you can copy the data to the specific hosted control. Below is the code to do the same.
1. If your Hosted Control is global hosted control :
var parameters = new Dictionary<string, CRMApplicationData>();
parameters.Add(Constants.usdParameterName, new CRMApplicationData() { name = <<Name of the Parameter>>, type = "string", value = <<Value to add>> });
((DynamicsCustomerRecord)((AgentDesktopSession)localSessionManager.GlobalSession).Customer.DesktopCustomer).MergeReplacementParameter("Name of Hosted Control", parameters, true);
2. If your Hosted Control is not Global
var parameters = new Dictionary<string, CRMApplicationData>();
parameters.Add(Constants.usdParameterName, new CRMApplicationData() { name = <<Name of the Parameter>>, type = "string", value = <<Value to add>> });
((DynamicsCustomerRecord)((AgentDesktopSession)localSessionManager.ActiveSession).Customer.DesktopCustomer).MergeReplacementParameter("Name of Hosted Control", parameters, true);
We have a concept of CopyToContext, have you looked at that?
neilparkhurst.com/.../usd-copytocontext
Each session has a context, essentially some replacement parameters that relate to the current session. A CopyToContext action lets us copy a parameter into that context that can then be used / re used. Something like "[[$Context.MyParameterName]]".
Failing that you could look at the SaveSetting concept.
neilparkhurst.com/.../usd-savesetting
This allows us to save a user setting. User settings are retained and not "just" related to the current session. You'd read one of those with syntax like "[[$Settings.MyParameterName]]".
Hopefully one of these approaches will answer you question.
What do you mean by Replacement parameter for a session?
