Hi, I’m looking for a way to add metadata to component instances.
I know we can add some configuration descriptions to the main component or its variants,
but what I need is a way to add metadata to individual instances.
Here’s an example of what I’m trying to do:
In the component library, I create a select box/dropdown component.
- Then, in the final design file (which is connected to the library), I place an instance of the dropdown and label or comment on it as “Type select option.”, to document it how the dropdown component is being used in this specific case.
- I also want to attach a spreadsheet, document, or some kind of text where I can explain the list of options in the “Type select option” dropdown.
Is there any way to do something like this in Figma other than just using annotations or comments?
Any walk around / tricks / tips will be very helpful too! :)
Ideally, it could be readable by MCP, but even if not, I’m looking for any solution that helps achieve this goal.
