About "Copy with Property Links"

Question

Currently, when using this operation, an expression like the one below is applied to link to the property:

comp("comp").layer("layer").effect("effect")(1)

However, this easily breaks when the layer is pre-compose.
I believe it should use `thisComp` instead to make it more robust.

Hi @YuK1_Works!Great news, this command already exists, and it's right below "Copy with Property Links." It's called "Copy with Relative Property Links" and it uses `thisComp` just like you're looking for. Both commands have very valid uses, but if you use the Relative command more (this one is also my preference), you can remap the KB shortcut assigned to "Copy with Property Links."
