Please note that stacks is a feature that is intended to be used at design time, and does not dynamically shift the stack in preview. I’m going to rewrite this particular request to be more precisely about the latter suggestion.

An error occurred while saving the comment Ivan Vladimirov commentedThe easiest workaround is to hit Ctrl + G on the inside A component, to place it in a dummy group, and than you can change parent B state using the group.
The problem is when you have another complex, nested component C, inside A. Than you do not have easy time changing state of B by clicking C.
I vote for this feature too, to have more flexibility to change one component state from another. For example, give component B a name, so you can reference it.

An error occurred while saving the comment Ivan Vladimirov commentedAn absolute must. I fully support this request.
This feature is done in some 3D software in a very smart way:
1. Drag selection to the left selects only contained objects
2. Drag selection to the right holds everything that intersectI'm working with lot of elements on prototype, constantly moving things around in different groups. Having this will be huge time saver. Now I'm doing temporary grouping all the time, just to have easy way to drag things around.

This and the ability to change the state of a component from another component are probably the biggest pain points for me.
On the other hand sometimes it is very useful. For example a menu button or any overlay with expanded popup in design view will shift the layout, but in preview mode it stays absolutely positioned on top of other elements, which is super powerful and frequent use.
Same is true to simulate some nice behaviors, like, I click this Save button at the bottom and it displays alert in the header, where you can embed the notification in the button state itself, which will destroy your layout in design view, but works like a charm in preview.
Bottom line both behaviors are much needed, like in CSS you have fixed and relative positioning.
