Expose/hide nested instances -> at component property level

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure.
Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component.

What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

+1 We really need this option, to make immaculate component properties, it will help a lot in different scenarios. also, it can reduce misuse of the proper component.

I am actually considering switching to Photoshop or Powerpoint if Figma doesn’t have this feature coming out this year.

This is very useful when using nested instances and I would love to have this feature as well.
