Add "Export to After Effects" feature.

Adobe XD has the function to open illustrator files and select any element and export them into after effects (it even opens up After Effects if the program is not running).

The way it is right now, designers work in illustrator and I have to have in parallel Illustrator, Adobe XD and After Effects running which is a lot of mental workload.

Having this feature would instead reduce into 2 having to deal with 3 apps.
