I’ve been using PenPot for a while, so I might not have understood something.

Currently, if I need to change the value of a token that references another token, I have to remember its exact label. It would be much more convenient if I could select it from a panel.

The small swatch (for colors) next to the value only provides access to the picker.

Ooh yeah, autocomplete when you start typing `{` could be handy. Or a scroll/search picker like you get when using color tokens from the design panel.
