You can write a Dashboard Extender that, on load, will switch the workflow pov to what suits you:

Case Is = DashboardExtenderFunctionType.LoadDashboard
    If args.FunctionName.XFEqualsIgnoreCase("TestFunction") Then
        BRApi.Workflow.General.SetSelectedWorkflowView(si, profileName, scenarioName, timeName)
   [... usual XFLoadDashboardTaskResult stuff here ...]

You can then manipulate the workflow pov using the POV Action "Change Workflow" on the controls in charge to change the POV (drop-downs etc).

Another approach is to replace those Substitution Variables with Parameters (Literal Value), then setting the default value of the Parameters to the substitution variables. Then you can easily control Parameters in dashboards, but they should still load seamlessly in the workflow.
