Layers transform linking aka chains

[kirk23]

I work as a texture artist  and hate all Adobe tools I have to use.  Substance designer , Sampler , Painter .        Affinity Photo and Designer  always seemed   a decent alternative whenever you need a  quick fix , easy job quickly done, one click macro  execution.     it's a perfect mix of simplicity and flexibility  with it's non destructive  linking  and layers system.    Beyond that of Photoshop.

But I  miss one thing . An ability to link transforms of the layers.   And have to use annoying  same tag/name selection that even doesn't  have a hot key.     it's important since I usually have  layers representing  height/ normal map/ roughness/ and color values  and absolutely need them be always in sync .  Whatever groups   they might be part of .      See Photoshop for example.   

I tried to use a workaround with symbols containers   and pixel content linking  but it starts to  turn into same insane complexity I hate  Painter and Substance Designer for.   I want just a click and forget solution .     Or maybe you just allow as to add extra channels   whenever we need them.       

Or just make a 16 bit  CMYK  mode.   or rather  RGBA+ height/depth.

Or just make a checkbox  that would select and transform all same named layers in sync  whatever group or parent  layer they could be  related to.
