Hello MrPerdu,
No, to my knowledge, you cannot assign text strings to function keys. An alternative would be to use the text replacement functionality found in Settings > Keyboard > Text Replacements.
With it, you can assign short strings to expand to a larger text. Personally, I prefix those shortcuts with "&" so that they do not conflict with anything.
For more information: Replace text and punctuation in documents on Mac - Apple Support.

Too bad such a simple thing is unavailable, but thanks for turning me on to Text Replacements. They haven't worked for me in the apps I've tried, but at least I know TR's there now. Cheers!
You are welcome. Have a great week-end!
