Allowing text styles in token references

[jimmymorris]

Are there any plans to make text styles available as tokens, given that they can be made up of primitive tokens from themes? I realize that this topic has been discussed before but given that shadows and animations who are also composable styles I was wondering if this is something that may change in the future

What we're really after is a way to alias a textStyle. In our theme we don't know which textStyle may be used with a component. In one theme a component could want 'body' and in another theme 'body-lg'.

We don’t have plans for this but we’re open to ideas. How do you imagine this would work? Feel free to share code samples

I was thinking something like the following: https://play.panda-css.com/KnZlrjRsvg

If we had a recipe for bodyText, where in the product theme we would like for the bodyText variant masthead to point to the lg text style, and for the marketing theme we would like for the bodyText variant masthead to point to the xl text style.

I realize that it may not make total sense semantically, but it's a very plausible scenario when dealing with multiple themes and/or brands
