Indeed VARA provide only one type of CQ. But that doesn't mean we can't play with it intelligently. Like the beacons - they are a CQ with -9. I have plans to make -1 for QRP, -2 for /P etc... not no room for SOTA POTA. Therefore what Erik suggested makes perfect sense - during POTA/SOTA events you can all agree on a calling QRG and there, every QSO will be counted as a SOTA/POTA while you can exchange info using the canned messages.
