Ability to override an instance ID and other style parameters of an instance

This would come in handy if section ID names are used and need to be named with a different ID based on the instance. Especially if one links to these sections.

    Use case:

    Portfolio site.

    I have made a component for a generic 'project' section with 100vh, so the project fills the whole page. There is a link at the bottom of the page which moves to the next section.

    Ideally I'd be able to use instances of this component across the page; one instance for each new project.

    Currently all instances have the same ID which means the link doesn't work.

    Are you asking to have the ID for the Symbolized section element be override capable just like text or images within a Symbol?

    Yes please, this would be great. Thanks.

    Hey there!

    Are you talking about a Section that has been converted into a Symbol? Applying ID's to elements are specific to those elements and should not carry over to over elements, even if they have the same CSS class. However, should the element be made into a Symbol then the ID's will carry over. Are you asking to have the ID for the Symbolized section element be override capable just like text or images within a Symbol?

    Also, it would be nice to have the ability to override the images in a lightbox link element.
