Allow creating Property Node OR Local Variable OR Reference from Reference OR Local Variable OR Property Node

Status: New

In other words, create anything from anything.

This doesn't come out from a search but seems so obvious that I must have missed it.

 

For instance, allow right-click access to Property Nodes of a Control/Indicator when you right-click on either:

- a Local Variable

- a Reference

- another Property Node

 

Repeat with "Reference" and "Local Variable" instead of "Poperty Node" in the paragraph above.

 

Currently, you can access class-generic properties if your right-click on a reference, but that is not the same thing. If I modify the control, that property node (PN) will NOT be modified, whereas a PN associated with the control itself with.

 

Of course, to some extent you can already create a reference from a reference (or a PN from a PN, or a local variable from a local variable) by COPYING it (not exactly a right-click shortcut but close enough).

This all in the name of productivity (and consistency as a bonus).
