The variables feature is a great addition to Figma. In our workflow, we use them extensively with multiple modes (like light and dark mode) and collections, which involves a lot of variable aliasing (linking variables to other variables).

This has created a large and complex network of references. It is becoming difficult and time-consuming to find the original source value (like the final hex code) for a specific variable.

It would be a significant workflow improvement if we could trace a variable's origin, much like you can trace CSS variables in devtools.

We propose the ability to click (or right-click) on an applied variable to see which variable it is referencing, and then be able to follow that "chain" of aliases all the way back to its original source value. This "Go to Definition" or tracing feature would make debugging complex variable setups much more efficient.

If this functionality already exists, please let me know. Otherwise, I hope this is valuable feedback.
