Build a Word mergefield using other fields to complete the name?

I have a list of images (one per state) that I need to pull into my template and normally use a regular mergefield e.g., {MERGEFIELD “Image_FL_09252017”}. The image name is a combination of the state and date which I also have tags for, so I’m trying to create a dynamic mergefield to choose the correct image based on state and date.

Something along the lines of

{MERGEFIELD “Image_{MERGEFIELD “State”}_{MERGEFIELD “Date”}”}

However, Word seems to process the outside mergefield first instead of the inside mergefields. If I use an IF statement I can include static text to complete the mergefield, but as soon as I use another field it doesn’t work. Is this something that’s even possible within Word? Any help or direction is greatly appreciated!
