Add way to change opacity for color variables alias, fills, strokes, etc

When aliasing a color variable to another (img 1), or using it directly on an element (img 2), we should be able to override the opacity without the need to create a variable for each transparency variation:

Cant override opacity in the alias:

+1 as it would ease our design token implementation using variables

We need the ability to set opacity on only the fill or the stroke, not the whole layer

Exactly, Needed this.
Thanks for raising it @Henrik_Andersen 🙌

Earlier opacity wasn’t handled very well over web. Now we can manage it in strokes and fill easily, without worrying about interactions/animations.
So I believe this can help in managing design systems by allowing opacity overriding for color tokens.
