Just tell it to get ((path to startup disk) as string) whenever you need
it, and it will give you the current value.
Or set your variable
set var to (path to startup disk)
as an alias (the default). Whenever you need just its string path just use
var as string
and it will find the alias, no matter what you have renamed it to or where
you've moved it, and evaluate its current path, If you're saving the
variable as a script property between runs, that's how to do it.
