Smart component merge and token Sync

One of the biggest pain points when working with tokenized design systems is that when you copy a finished component into a new Figma file, Figma doesn’t bring the related tokens into the token table.

On top of that, the tokens applied to the component still reference the original file.

The plugin I built solves this by copying both the component and its related tokens together, then automatically reconnecting them to the token table in the new file. This makes the component fully editable again and allows designers to easily customize its appearance without manually re-linking tokens.
