How would that work?
Well, using a (grossly oversimplified) use case of a html form. Let's say you have a form snippet and lots of field snippets.
Sometimes you want to prepend the id of the form to the id of the fields:
<form id="my_form"> <input id="my_form_field_1"> [...]
Ah, okay -- well, I think the best way to solve this is to instead let the snippet be generated by a command, which takes the form as input, and extracts the ID. Then the “child snippet” will also work as expected, even when not invoked inside the parent one.
But I do like the idea, though would need more use cases for me to really be behind it -- but now that you’ve planted a seed, maybe I’ll start to see them :)
