Variables: Color alias with alpha / opacity (rgba ideally)

hey there!

variables seems to be super nice but what i am missing is that if i make a colour alias to a specific collection - i can’t set the opacity separately (e.g. colour 50 with 20% opacity)

So basically i want the colouyr to be from another collection and i want to set the alpha seperatly (controlled as rgba - since i dont need it as opacity)

Example how we can fix this in token studio:

So what i want is that i can set blue/5 and then the opacity (which i dont want to capture in another colour variable)

Now its only possible if i break the link with gray/75 - and then i loose the reference to that colour

+1 Not sure why this wouldn’t be similar to how number variables are applied to font size/line height/corner radius/etc.

This is an issue I keep running into, especially for components I create that use auto-layout, which assimilates the container & border into the frame, thus removing the ability to apply specific opacity values to each of them individually.
