Selecting multiple text assets on the timeline should show all of them at once in Properties panel

Presently you can select a single graphic asset with multiple text layers in it and align, or move them all together. However, if you have multiple graphic assets (text) on the timeline, when you select all of them together you are unable to control them at once.

 

What should happen is when you select multiple graphic assets (text) on the timeline, the Properties panel should fill up with all of the associated elements so that, in the Properties panel, then can be selected together and things like Align or Position would be taken into account.

 

This currently works with the Appearance tab, but none of the other tabs.

 

I know that this is more of a Premiere issue overall in which multiple video assets cannot be manipulated together, but the graphics assets already populate in the Properties panel, why can't they all be shown together? Thinking about this a la After Effects where multiple text layers can be selected together and manipulated as one.

 

This is important for social media editors who are often stacking text layers so that they pop on one at a time. Right now the worst workaround is to cut a graphic layer instead of stacking so that multiple elements can be aligned, the problem being if you make one change you now have to propogate it to all other instances of that layer. Stacking elements is the best and most efficient way to do this, but it's a chore right now.
