As far, Figma make can be used in a Figma site page to make code-real sections, elements and interactions, but if it’s applied over a component coming from a design system (in a figma design file or in the figma side file) it overrides any component micro interaction making it hard to use it as a combo.
For instance, I have a button CTA with a set of variants for the states: default, hover, focus, selected, loading, disabled.
If I use this component in a Figma site (website-test) and click over it > go to Make icon-button and ask to include an interaction “when clicking on it download ‘X’ PDF file the component then loses all micro interactions (e.g., hover state)
It seems something quite vanilla but the fact is, Make can help creating micro interactions Figma doesn’t have yet such as “download ‘x’ when clicking, or scroll to ‘x’ section of the page… and if it overrides components micro interactions (change variant to) it doesn’t have any sense for us to use it at all.
Would be nice to have it included as part of the final feature.
