Unfortunately it's not possible to use session variables in the Registry Check. We encourage support tickets with enhancement requests though, please send one in. I was not able to locate an existing request for this feature, surprisingly.

EDIT: Starting with 12.1 this feature is added to get a value from the registry and store it as a session variable. There are restrictions because it has potential security implications. See the following for more information:
