Have the capacity to "Link" component to start having some logic

I came to the community looking to see if something like Axure’s “selection groups” exists as well, is this would come in handy when creating radio groups and tab group components. I currently am working on a tab component that nests individual tab item components. These nested tab items hold four variants: default, hover, focus, and active.

I wracked my brain thinking if there was a way to do this with conditional statements and/or variables that would switch between component variants of nested components, but I couldn’t think of a good way to do it. Basically I want to create something in Figma that behaves like an HTML radio group.

Was anyone able to achieve this, and if so, have they done so in a way that is DRY, without a spaghetti mess?
