Component-specific variables

Love variables in Figma!
I’m just wondering if it would be possible to have variables as it is already + within a scope of a component.
Example:
I have a component in which I control its content with variables. For ex. I have a counter of items with + and - buttons to increment or decrement the number (like in a shopping cart or such).
If I have several types of items in my cart, I will have several instances of the counter component. This means all these instances will use the same variable, which is not desirable in that case. I will need to create one variable per instance, otherwise the number will be updated in every instance.

Idea:
Maybe there can be some kind of option to check saying “component-specific variable” that will auto-create variables for each instance and this variable could be named [instanceName].[variableName], so if I have a variable “count” and instances called “counter1”, “counter2”, 'counter3" I’ll get variables “counter1.count”, “counter2.count”, “counter3.count” and so on.
