In Katalon, what have users found to be the best way to deal with per environment variables? Is there a direct approach akin to fixtures in javascript, where you can pass a test suite an environment variable and it reads the fixture for additional data specific to that env?

You can set up different Environment Profiles for your project. You can add Global Environment Variables to each of those profiles. Choosing a profile during a test run will use the variables set up for that profile/environment.
