Hey Figma Team! I would like us to adopt the option of having Opacity Properties panel for colors. We can do this in code so I don’t see a reason that our design tool can’t do this simple thing. In CSS we can do “var(--foreground), transparent 50%)” and same thing in Tailwind which is much simpler “fill-foreground/50”. We can also achieve this in Mobile too with different scripts. 

Right now my work around for this is that I need to create a new Variable for this specific opacity and it creates too many unnecessary tokens that we can avoid.
