Figma slots do not pass on component properties

Hi there,

I've been exploring the new Slots feature, but I noticed that slots currently do not pass through the properties of the inner components (instances) placed inside them.

Are there plans to make internal component properties available within slots in upcoming versions? This would greatly improve the flexibility of the new workflow.

Thanks!

I have a simple component with a hover state. This component is embedded into a slot (which is obviously part of another component). So it’s; Main component>Slot>Nested Component (with hover state). My nested component works fine on its own, but once added to the slot, it loses its hover state.

 

See video with more detail:

It seems to me that this only works with components that contain nested instances, and the slot doesn't pass them along.
I found a solution, but it looks like a workaround.
