We need this as well! Hopefully, we can have this opacity-changing feature on top of aliasing variables when the variable feature is officially released (non-beta) version! thanks

I thought we were doing something wrong, now I see it’s not possible which is a bummer 😦

Yes we need this! I basically want the token equivalent to:
