Use the following code to add jQuery when all the content was loaded: 

<script>
    require([
        'jquery'
        ,'domReady!'
    ], function ($) {
         console.log('whatever');
    });
</script>

Of course, you can skip listening to domReady event! Just remove the domReady line, like this:

<script>
    require([
        'jquery'
    ], function ($) {
         console.log('whatever');
    });
</script>

Lets take a look at the following code:

Thats the static Magento block:

<a href="{{store url=''}}{{var attributset_name}}/configuration/test/product_id/{{var product_id}}">
    konfigurieren
</a>

We want to send attributset_name and product_id dynamically to the block. Add the following code to a template for example:

$block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('block_name');
$variables = array();
$variables['product_id'] = 123;
$variables['attributset_name'] = 'whatever';
                       
$filter = Mage::getModel('core/email_template_filter');
$filter->setVariables($variables);

// This will now echo the blocks HTML with the values from the passed parameters.
echo $filter->filter($block->toHtml());
