This plugin adds a shortcode [ot_get_option] to pull info from like the function ot_get_option(). Its very simple to use and supports the same values as ot_get_option().
BEWARE: It will not work with options that return non-text values.
Why a shortcode and not the function in PHP? Sometimes I need to implement slight variations of the same site. This allows me to set my options in the UI and have the values propagate into the post content as needed without remembering every place that needs changes.

[ot_get_option option_id="XYZ" default="123"]

ot_get_option("XYZ","123");
