Parameters/Variables/Formula based parts properties

Example implementation:
- user is provided with a "variable editor" where he inputs an new variable "ReferenceResistor=500"
- user edits his circuit and make R1, R2, R3 and R4's resistance = ReferenceResistor and R10 and R11 = ReferenceResistor 2*ReferenceResistor
This way user is able to change quickly/test various values

Matthias this could fit well with our work around "rules". The rules tab could display an item called "variables". Click on it to display a list of variables and their values in the Inspector. Then, when you click on a resistor, instead of typing a value in the Resistance field, you could enter the variable. Maybe we use a syntax for it, like #ReferenceResistor.

Brooks Solveig: that a good idea
another thought: Maybe variables are just any property value on the project itself or subjects?
additionally any rule property could serve as a variable too?

Matthias: I like having variables be properties. We could recycle the selector syntax to reference a particular property. Having rules as variables is more confusing.

This is def something we want to enable!
