Store list/dictionary ?!

Configuration
11

Defining a dictionary for value mapping:
I used following template sensor:

    - name: "My Map"'
      unique_id: my_map
      state: ''
      attributes: !include my_map.yaml

and the file my_map.yaml contains a dictionary-object:

  { 
    '1041': 'OvExt',
    '1042': 'UnExt',
    '1069': 'VArCtlVol',
  }

to get result of the map:

    {{ state_attr("sensor.my_map","1042") }}

result: UnExt

In my usecase, the dictionary has about 130 items. (It is better to store it in own file)
