Hello David, The reason I thought it would be nice is that I find myself using a lot of components that are unnecessary because they could be assigned to an input via right click. After reading Fraguada's reply and yours I think I understand a dual purpose of using "extract parameter" in that if I assign a value via right click I can extract that parameter as a component to visually cue me that there is in fact an input going into the component. But like you said, expression aren't able to do this.
Since I'm a novice I tend to over document definitions so I know what's doing what, I was thinking that this could help. Thanks for reading.
