Preserve code-connect blocks for detached "composite" components

[andreiduca]

When detaching a component, Figma keeps track of the detachment history (unless manually cleared by the user).

Even detached, I can still compare the changes between the detached component and the main component.

However, I cannot open in playground (obviously, since the component is detached, so props don't exist anymore; tho the button is still there), but I also don't see the code example that the original component used to have.

Is it possible to preserve the code-connect example in this case?

This would be helpful for composite components, which we want our designers to detach so that they can edit their contents freely. Best examples would be modals, or checkbox and radio groups, or anything that could be a composite of other small components, or components accepting arbitrary children.

Hey @andreiduca, thanks for reporting this and adding the example use cases - this is really helpful! We don't currently preserve code connect for detached components, but wanted to let you know that it's something we're considering and thinking about. Will keep you posted on this
