Indeed! We do support quite a few parameters for component selection today, but definitely want to add a lot more. I think this opens up some exciting possibilities, for example not needing to explicitly call out a part number for generic components in your source code, retaining information about what the requirements of that part are. Of course in production you would want a lock file to make sure things are not changing arbitrarily, but I personally would have loved something like that while I was dealing with chip shortages a few years back.
