Show variant metafields for a particular product on separate page

I'm trying to create a page with a list of products, including their variants that shows the variant options & a variant metafield for it.

 

Is there a way to reference a variant metafield for a particular variant ID?

@pvgregory  You cannot access variants by id in theme liquid. And if you try using ajax on the frontend there will be no metafield data.

 

In the context of a product object roughly:

{{ product.first_or_selected_variant.metafields.namespace.key.value }}

That's for when the page loads.

 

This does not update when a user selects options if the values are different among variants.

You need javascript for dynamic text and it vary wildly among themes.

 

If you need this customization then contact me by mail for services.
ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.
