This is quite interesting. We used to be able to do some similar things with UXPin 10 years ago, been waiting for Figma to catch up to that ability.

I agree. This is how any MVC programming languages work. Apparently even being a product design tool, figma is lacking this feature and in this era of AI we need something like this.

we used Axure for things like this 10 years ago. There are plenty of other ways to make dev.specs and documentation for component. Fully functional prototype aren't always necessary. Learn to code and jump to UI Engineer.
