This is my first time of using October CMS, all has gone well apart from an issue with calling data from an external yaml file. I have a details.yaml file in theme/data from which I would like to display data which is common throughout all pages, is this possible? The details.yaml is this format:-

company: 'xxxxx'
building: 'xxxx'
address: 'xxxxx'
road: 'xxx'
village: 'xxxx'
city: 'xxxx'
county: 'xxxx'
postcode: 'xxxxxx'
country: 'United Kingdom'
displayphone: '01234 567890'
phone: '01234567890'

I have then tried calling for the data like this:-

<li>
<a href="tel:{{ 'data/details.yml.phone' }}" aria-label="{{ 'data/details.yml.company' }} Phone Number">{{ 'data/details.yml.displayphone' }}</a>
</li>

This does not work, is this possible? If not is there an alternative way to acheive this?

Newbie mistake, I have realised that adding the data to the theme.yaml with a form and then using the twig format below works a treat:-

 <li>
<a href="tel:{{ this.theme.phone }}" aria-label="{{ this.theme.company }} Phone Number">{{ this.theme.displayphone }}</a>
</li>

Good stuff!
