Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to factor in an intended transformation of the elements into the getRelativePosition or convertCoordinates methods. convertCoordinates doc's For example, in the demo video for convertCoordinates the video shows a fromElement and a toElement which transform by a random scale, rotation etc. and then tween the child element into position using the newly transformed parents. My question is "is it be possible to tween the transformation of both the parents and the child elements at the same time so everything moves synchronously?". (Sorry - I wanted to link to the codepen here but could find the one I was looking for from the video) I can't see how I could do that right now as (as far as I can tell) any elements passed into getRelativePosition or convertCoordinates need to be in a 'final' position i.e. these functions return a transform for where the elements are and not where they are going to be. note: I've seen the 'arm and joint' getRelativePosition demo which uses 'onUpdate' to remap the the arms start position. This could probably be used but it just seems a bit inefficient to continuously recalculate the necessary transform on ticks of the parents tween when we should be able to calculate the final position at the outset using the current positions and intended transformations. Any thoughts on how this might be achieved? Maybe some clever matrix composition?
