Prototype Action Overlay - Expose Nested Component Properties


Bjorn_Witte

Hi everyone,

Today I discovered that in Prototype Action > Overlay, you can manually move a component and have it always positioned relative to the main component. This is super useful for dropdowns, context menus, and displaying their respective lists.

My problem/Feature Request:
The prototype works great, but my components live in a design system and are published for other designers to use.

In this example, if a designer insert an Instance of the ContextMenu component into their file, there’s no way to access or override the properties of the list (MenuList).

Is there a way to do this that I just don't know about? Or would it make sense to offer every overlay component (MenuList) as an exposed component within the main component (ContextMenu)?

What do you think?

The red stroked container show my suggestion
