When will Webflow allow for separating interactions from the element they are applied to?

Webflow does not currently offer a built-in feature to separate interactions from the elements they are applied to. Interactions in Webflow are typically defined and associated directly with individual elements.

However, even though there may not be a specific feature to separate interactions from elements, there are ways to achieve similar effects and flexibility in your interactions using techniques within Webflow. Here are a few possible approaches:

1. Symbol-based interactions: If you have similar components throughout your project, you can create a symbol for them and define interactions directly within the symbol. This way, any changes made to the symbol's interactions will be applied globally to all instances of the symbol.

2. Interaction Classes: Webflow allows you to apply multiple classes to an element, which means you can create separate classes solely for interactions. By adding interaction classes to elements without affecting their core styling, you can easily manage and update interactions separately from the elements' attributes.

3. Use custom code: Webflow's custom code feature gives you the ability to add custom JavaScript or jQuery code to your project. With this capability, you can create reusable functions or libraries that handle interactions independently of the elements they are applied to. For example, you can define your interactions as functions and trigger them on specific events using custom code.

It's worth mentioning that while these methods can help achieve separation of interactions from elements, they may require a bit more advanced knowledge of Webflow, particularly with custom code and structuring your project. Additionally, please note that Webflow is constantly evolving, and new features and updates may be introduced in the future that provide even more granular control over interactions.
