I am not exactly sure what you mean, can you be alittle more descriptive?

The only thing I can think of is expressions. You can set a pre-defined expression (Tools --> Expression or Control-E). Then assign the expression to the feature you want.

Maybe I do not understand what you are asking.
 
I always have a habit to specify name to the sketches, that defines - what is drawn inside that sketch.
For example, If sketch is used for revolving a 'Flange' then sketch is named as 'Flange'
Now my requirement is to link this name to an attribute,which i will be changing from spread sheet. Value of the attribute must change the name of feature (sketch).
I do not know how to link the name of a feature to an attribute.
I hope it is more descriptive !!
