Figma/Framer-like components

Please point me in the right direction if this is possible in the editor, but I often find myself wishing I could make an artboard a component that I could spawn variants from.

I have a button that will need differing icons, but i will either have to make individual artboards to preserve the original state machine, or animate the buttons in the main scene all with differing icons.

This is fine, but the the issue arises if I want to go back and tweak how the button looks. In that situation I'd have to edit X amount of buttons with the same exact change if I want a consistent edit in my already developed project. It would be even more of a headache if it's an animation change as I would have to tweak X amount of state machines/timelines exactly the same.

I would LOVE a feature like this, and I think Figma is the poster child for this sort of feature.

Maybe I don't understand the question fully, but I think you it would be best if you make 1 artboard for the button and 1 artboard for the icons grouped in a Solo Group, so you can pick one of them for the different buttons. Then make variations in another artboard.
