How to use template strings with graphql-codegen?

Question

I have this GraphQL query in a TypeScript file:

const someVar = 'getUser'

export const SOME_QUERY = gql`
  query ${someVar} {
    user {
        name
    }
  }
`

but when I run graphql-codegen to generate the types, I get this message in the terminal:

[client-preset] the following anonymous operation is skipped: 
  query  {
    user {
      name
    }
  }

Looks like the template string is not being picked up.
