Parent/Child relationship for shape layer transform properties?

Question

I have a technical question - is it possible to make a shape follow the transform properties of another shape? Basically like the parent/child relationship, but instead of following the main transform properties of a shape, they'd follow that shape layers' 'Transform: Shape' properties. Does that make sense? I'm trying to make a box follow the scale and movement of another box but the animation keyframes are on the shape itself.

To go further, the reason why I've animated the shape's properties instead of its general transform properties is because I need it to retain it's stroke width constantly throughout the animation. If someone has a solve for that, maybe I could work around it entirely.

Any help appreciated.

A simple expression created by the picwhip to link the properties is all that is needed.
